The Carrick Institute is both excited and proud to announce the inauguration of our new, comprehensive, and updated Vestibular Rehabilitation curriculum. This new addition to the Carrick Institute Program has been designed to allow doctoral students, therapists, and physicians to obtain mastery in the assessment, diagnosis, and rehabilitation of the peripheral and central vestibular system.

Vestibular processing is one of the most highly integrated receptor systems in the human body, which allows it to be utilized in the course of rehabilitation of many seemingly unrelated patient scenarios. This series of stand-alone courses will culminate to an understanding of when, why, and how to implement vestibular rehabilitation, through evaluation procedures, biometric technologies, and hands-on applications.

If you desire to assist those suffering from numerous conditions such as dizziness or vertigo, chronic pain, headaches, migraines, mTBI’s, and other complex neurological presentations, a skill-set of vestibular assessment and applications will be a pivotal contribution to your expertise in the healthcare community.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this 6-module program, clinicians should be able to:

  • Utilize a modern and updated examination process to aid in their differential diagnosis of  patients.
  • Diagnose and treat conditions of the vestibular system
  • Learn how to apply vestibular rehabilitation applications to conditions such as:
    • musculoskeletal pain syndromes
    • conditions of cognition
    • treatment of mTBI / concussion
    • and more.

Who is This Class for?

Our primary audience is the practicing clinician including Physical Therapists, Chiropractors, Medical Physicians, Osteopaths, Acupuncturists.  Please contact us if you have any questions about your eligibilty for this program.
