Dizziness Masterclass

New for 2025 - Dizziness Masterclass

An all-new, practical, problem-solving study day, aiming to develop your clinical reasoning, and challenge and expand your practice.

• Lots of hands-on practical

• Small group discussion/brainstorming

• Clinical reasoning on case-study examples

• Real patient assessments (if available)

This masterclass is suitable for clinicians with experience in managing clients with dizziness and balance disorders.

Delegates are encouraged to bring interesting/challenging case examples from their own clinical practice for discussion.

If suitable patients are available, then the masterclass will include 1 or 2 real patient assessments.

Course content will vary slightly, depending upon cases, but is expected to include topics on:

Interpreting eye movements

How do we use ocular-motor testing to differentiate central from peripheral pathologies? Nystagmus; geotropic, apogeotropic, strong side, weak side - what does it really mean? How do we relate different patterns of nystagmus to different pathologies?

PPPD/Multi-sensory dizziness

Why do so many of our patients appear to have ‘nothing wrong with them’?

How and why does the brain get it so wrong in processing sensory inputs? What treatment/rehabilitation strategies are effective in PPPD?

Multi-canal BPPV;

How to deal with stubborn/recurrent BPPV?
How to make sense of, and treat, lateral canal canaliathis and cupulolisthesis? Anterior canal techniques? - are they more useful and common than you think?

Post-concussion rehabilitation

Should we look more critically at the vestibular-ocular motor screen (VOMS)? How do we best integrate vestibular rehabilitation in to ‘return to sport’ protocols?

Cervical dizziness

How much of a role does it play?
Why aren’t all patients with sore necks dizzy?
Is it really possible to differentiate cervical/vestibular conditions?
