LLLC, EPIMORFOSIS intents to organize a course on Vestibular Strategies for the Outpatient Clinician course with Dr. Sean O. Flannagan (MPTA/iM.IT Founder, Senior Instructor & HMNS/AACP Accredited Tutor) and Dr. Corey Brinton PT, DPT, OCS, Cert. DIN, Cert. VRS.

The program of the seminar is exactly the same as the one that Dr. Sean Flannagan teaches in the USA.

The seminar lasts 3 days and will be held in Athens.

The cost of the seminar is 430€.

To finalize your participation, you have to prepay 130€.

The remaining amount of 300€ must be deposited at least 2 days before the start of the seminar.

The course titled “Vestibular Strategies for the Outpatient Clinician” is a 3-day (21-hour) course that focuses on the anatomy, physiology, and treatment of balance and dizziness conditions often seen in patients with vertigo (BPPV), post-concussion syndrome, and whiplash.

Participants will learn about the different types of vestibular pathologies, including peripheral and central vestibular disorders and cervical disorders, and how to formulate an appropriate differential diagnosis. The course includes both didactic components and hands-on laboratory testing to help participants gain a comprehensive understanding of the material.

This course is designed specifically for the outpatient physical therapist that wants to become known as a cervical specialist in whiplash, concussion, headaches, and dizziness.

Participants will have confidence in treating and identifying common practice patterns in patients with vertigo (BPPV), post-concussion syndrome, and whiplash. They will be trained in the evaluation, differential diagnosis, and treatment of the dizzy patient, emphasizing the use of BPPV assessments, Vestibular Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS) assessments, and cervical musculoskeletal assessments. This will be supported by treatment strategies, progression, and management of post-concussion syndrome beyond visual & vestibular drivers, including blood flow abnormalities, metabolic inflammatory drivers, and psychological drivers.

^{The course objectives include:}
1.  Demonstrate an understanding of the normal and pathological processes required for upright balance.
2.  Appropriately identify the canal for treatment of inner ear pathology.
3.  Accurately identify vestibular ocular dysfunction and hypofunction.
4.  Understand and appropriately differentiate peripheral vestibular disorders.
5.  Identify cervical disorders that contribute to dizziness.
6.  Develop effective treatment strategies and pathways for each identified vestibular pathology.

Overall, this course is designed to provide clinicians with the knowledge and skills needed to diagnose and treat individuals with balance and dizziness issues effectively. Through a combination of didactic and hands-on learning, participants will gain a thorough understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the balance and dizziness system, as well as the different types of vestibular pathologies and appropriate treatment strategies.
