Colleen Sleik – PESI – Updates in Vestibular Rehab: Clinical Practice Guidelines for Vestibular Hypofunction

Designed to bring you the latest guidelines for vestibular rehabilitation, this recording and demonstration translates the 2016 recommendations of the APTA’s Neurology Section into evidence-based practice. Discover the four key components of successful vestibular rehabilitation programming and explore assessment tools as well as clinical applications of habituation, gaze stabilization, and gait, balance, and endurance training.

Throughout the recording, we will examine case studies demonstrating common findings as well as problem-solving approaches for the challenging patient. Demonstration and progression of gaze stabilization exercises will be covered more closely in lab.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Innovative Business Model:
   • Embrace the reality of a genuine business! Our approach involves forming a group buy, where we collectively share the costs among members. Using these funds, we purchase sought-after courses from sale pages and make them accessible to individuals facing financial constraints. Despite potential reservations from the authors, our customers appreciate the affordability and accessibility we provide.
2. The Legal Landscape: Yes and No:
   • The legality of our operations falls into a gray area. While we lack explicit approval from the course authors for resale, there’s a technicality at play. When procuring the course, the author didn’t specify any restrictions on resale. This legal nuance presents both an opportunity for us and a boon for those seeking budget-friendly access.
3. Quality Assurance: Unveiling the Real Deal:
   • Delving into the heart of the matter – quality. Acquiring the course directly from the sale page ensures that all documents and materials are identical to those obtained through conventional means. However, our differentiator lies in going beyond personal study; we take an extra step by reselling. It’s important to note that we are not the official course providers, meaning certain premium services aren’t included in our package:
     • No coaching calls or scheduled sessions with the author.
     • No access to the author’s private Facebook group or web portal.
     • No entry to the author’s exclusive membership forum.
     • No direct email support from the author or their team.

   We operate independently, aiming to bridge the affordability gap without the additional services offered by official course channels. Your understanding of our unique approach is greatly appreciated.

Refund is acceptable:

• Firstly, item is not as explained
• Secondly, Item do not work the way it should.
• Thirdly, and most importantly, support extension can not be used.
