  One of the best courses I've attended in my 12 years as a PT. I know I can treat vestibular patients starting Monday without concern. We were really given treatment ideas (which is lacking in many con ed courses). All instructors were very involved and hands-on.

  Nov 6-8, 2019 Workshop

  This course was exactly what we needed to help solidify our clinical exam and treat more confidently. Loved the atmosphere and the ease at which you made us feel to ask any questions. Thanks so much!
