The Dizzy Brain: Demystifying Vestibular Exercises - Webinar Series
UPCOMING WEBINAR DATES
UPCOMING WEBINAR DATES
VOR/Gaze Stabilization Exercises
Thursday, August 22
7 PM EST
In this webinar, you will learn about vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR)/gaze stabilization exercises, which are used to improve eye control during head and body movements. VOR/Gaze stabilization exercises are prescribed to treat blurred vision that occurs when moving around.
Visual Motion Sensitivity Exercises
Thursday, August 29
7 PM EST
In this webinar, you will learn about visual motion sensitivity exercises, which are used to improve dizziness triggered by visual motion. Treatment involves systematically exposing yourself to the triggering visual stimuli until the symptoms improve. This type of exercise works for dizziness and imbalance related to visually stimulating environments, such as shopping malls and grocery stores, watching action movies or TV, or walking through environments with patterned walls or floors.
Habituation Exercises
Thursday, September 5
7 PM EST
In this webinar, you will learn about habituation exercises, which are used to treat dizziness that is related to different positions and movements. Depending on the positions or movements that trigger your dizziness, habituation exercises are prescribed in a specific way to progressively improve your symptoms of dizziness. Habituation exercises aim to reduce the intensity of your dizziness by gradually retraining the faulty signals from the inner ear organs to your brain that cause the sensation of dizziness so that it feels easier for you to move around.
Balance Exercises
Thursday, September 12
7 PM EST
In this webinar, you will learn about balance exercises, which are used to improve steadiness so that it is easier to move about in your daily activities. Balance exercises involve integrating inputs from your visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems to work better together and make you feel more stable and in equilibrium.
BPPV Treatment Maneuvers
Thursday, September 19
7 PM EST
In this webinar, you will learn about treatment maneuvers that are used to treat Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), which is the most common cause of positional vertigo. You may feel this type of vertigo when you look up, lie down or turn in bed. This type of vertigo is due to “loose crystals” in the inner ear. The treatment involves a series of deliberate head and body movements that aim to reposition these displaced crystals within the vestibular system.
