Practical, evidence-based training in vestibular assessment, treatment and rehabilitation
DIZZINESS, VERTIGO AND VESTIBULAR REHABILITATION
Saturday, 11th May 2024
About The Course
This course is all about understanding what we mean by dizziness and vertigo, and how we balance. It will set dizziness within its bio-psycho-social context.
You'll be able to incorporate a basic vestibular examination into your usual neuro-musculo-skeletal assessment. This means you'll be much better equipped to recognise the common peripheral vestibular disorders and differentiate these from central nervous system pathology.
You'll be able to diagnose and treat common variant positional vertigo (BPPV), as well as plan appropriate rehab programmes based on individual assessment and clinical reasoning, using the most appropriate outcome measures
Who's Eligible?
The training is suitable for all MSK practitioners (osteopaths, chiropractors, physiotherapists). There is no requirement for previous expertise in vestibular disorders.
About The Trainer
Alan Sealy BSc, MCSP
Alan is a hugely experienced physiotherapist, who specialises in vestibular rehabilitation. He graduated from Sheffield Hallam University in 1996, where he also took his post graduate manipulative therapy qualification in 1999.
After working initially within the NHS, and as a partner in private practice in Sheffield, Alan developed an early interest in dizziness and balance disorders and was invited to establish ‘Balanseklinikken’, in Oslo.
As the Director of Rehabilitation in Scandinavia’s busiest balance clinic, and more recently as Director of Aberdeen Balance Clinic, he has treated and helped over 7000 dizzy patients. This considerable experience is used in research and educational courses throughout Europe and the UK.
Alan has presented at a number of national and international conferences in the field of vestibular rehabilitation and has had papers published in peer-reviewed journals. Now based in Aberdeen, his time is split between his private practice, lecturing and research.
