Course Overview
Join us for an immersive two-day workshop on Vestibular Rehabilitation, led by expert Dr. Naseem Chatiwala, PT, DPT, MS, NCS.
This workshop is designed to deepen clinicians’ understanding of the vestibular system and build practical skills and confidence in evaluating and treating vestibular disorders—skills that can be applied immediately in clinical practice. Participants will gain a strong, hands-on foundation in vestibular anatomy, assessment techniques, and evidence-based treatment strategies that benefit not only patients with vestibular diagnoses but also a wide range of other conditions.
Upon completion of the course, participants will receive 16 CEU credits (approved by APTA of MA for PTs; other professionals may submit for CEU approval).

"Naseem presented a course that will appeal to new grads and seasoned therapists alike. I enjoyed the review of the anatomy and physiology, in the context of the impact of a stroke on function and the recovery process. She spent a lot of time discussing how to use different learning and practice strategies to take advantage of neuroplasticity and motor learning."
★★★★★
"I learned a lot more effective and up-to-date techniques for various conditions. There was a lot of opportunity for asking questions and trying techniques."
