- DISCLOSURES
This was an exceptional course! I've always struggled with understanding the vestibular system well enough to effectively assess and treat patients with dizziness and balance problems. But after taking the introductory course from Dr. Clendaniel called, Vestibular Rehabilitation: Evaluation and Management of Individuals with Dizziness and Balance Disorders, followed by this course, Vestibular Rehabilitation: Advanced, I have a much better understanding and I feel equipped to begin more accurately assessing and more effectively treating patients with dizziness and balance problems. I can't say enough about how great these two courses from Dr. Clendaniel are, and I highly recommend them if you want to sharpen your knowledge and skills and be more effective at helping patients with these often debilitating problems. -Spencer S., PT

'Rick is a leader in the field of vestibular rehabilitation and his material and the way it is presented proves the point. Rick is able to present some very complex material in a manner that is understandable. He shares personal experiences in order to illuminate some of the more colorful and confusing parts of vestibular rehabilitation. He consistently utilizes best practice and provides research and resources to support his perspectives. He answers all questions posed with similar support. I enjoyed the course very much and found that it clarified many questions that I had had for some time. Many thanks.' -Philip T, Class Participant.
