Integrative Spin on Dizziness: Update

Wednesday, September 3, 2025

8:00-10:00pm

Course Description:

The person living with dizziness often experiences disability, decreased independence, psychological distress, and decreased quality of life.  Moreover, physical therapists who treat individuals with dizziness are challenged by the apparent complexity and often, the lack of progress towards recovery.  Extant conceptual models of persistent dizziness are complex and do not consider the first person (lived) experience of the person or provide a cohesive account that can inform therapeutic interventions. This course explores a contemporary framework for engaging the person with persistent dizziness, integrating the lived experience with clinical and theoretical models of the condition to identify evidence-supported clinical targets for recovery.  

Course Objectives:

Following this webinar, the participants will be able to:

• Integrate qualitative data from the lived experience of the person with dizziness into current models of the condition to form a contemporary framework incorporating cognitive-perceptual, sensorimotor, social, and environmental factors.
• Describe factors derived from first-principle theoretical neurobiology that utilize this contemporary framework to predict and facilitate adaptation, persistence, and recovery from acute and persistent dizziness.
• Identify and implement person-centered, clinically-accessible, and evidence-supported rehabilitation strategies based on an emerging holistic understanding of dizziness.
