What Others are Saying
The course material is very helpful to tease out vestibular disturbances from dizziness and balance issues related to other pathology. I really appreciate all the balance tests in the back of the book.
Melody Edwards
Very good clarification of information of Vestibular Rehab. I will be much more comfortable. Excellent presentation of complex information that can be confusing and overwhelming. It's much more clear to me now than after taking a 3-day vestibular course.
