Dizziness
We are going to explore some of the proposed mechanisms for pain’s 'stickiness’, looking at plasticity at multiple interconnecting levels in our biology, from molecular to behavioural. We will also discuss the features, characteristics and life experiences that mean someone is more susceptible to developing a longer lasting pain experience. In other words, why someone is more vulnerable. We will set dizziness within its bio-psycho-social context and look at some basic physiology. The better you understand the physiology, the better you can interpret your assessments and therefore your treatment is more effective. We look at the commonest triggers for peripheral dizziness, namely BPPV and vestibular neuronitis. Basic principals of vestibular rehabilitation are introduced, based not on generalised 'recipes' but on customised exercise programming; "look at the patient!".Prijzen

Expert
• Developed their understanding of the pro-active, multi-factorial nature of the balance system.
• Reviewed the central nervous system pathways involved in central and peripheral vestibular disorders.
• Reviewed up to date ideas behind more challenging forms of compensated vertigo (vestibular migraine, visual vertigo, cervical vertigo, phobic postural vertigo, PPPD).
• In practice, learnt to diagnose and treat atypical positional vertigo (BPPV) canaliathis and cupuloliathis variants, in the posterior, lateral and anterior semi-circular canals.
• Planned appropriate rehab programmes based upon individual assessment and clinical reasoning.
• Learnt to integrate vestibular treatment & cervical manual therapy within a neuro-musculo-skeletal assessment, to optimally treat cervical dizziness.
• Practiced & progressed treatment interventions to the dysfunctional side, incorporating gaze, cervical manual therapy and functional exercises.
