North 49 Vestibular Therapy Foundations Course

Training

January 30 & 31, 2027 | Northern Hills Sport Physiotherapy | Calgary, Alberta

Join us in Calgary for North 49’s Vestibular Therapy Foundations Course, a practical 16-hour course designed to give clinicians the knowledge and hands-on skills to confidently assess and manage patients with dizziness and balance disorders.

This hybrid course combines 4 hours of self-paced online learning with 12 hours of interactive live teaching and hands-on laboratory sessions.

Course Format

Participants will receive access to the online material three weeks before the in-person course. The online component includes three modules and approximately four hours of instruction. A short online examination must be completed before attending the in-person portion.

In-person training:

Saturday, January 30: 8:00am to 5:00pm
Sunday, January 31: 8:00am to noon

What You’ll Learn

The course provides a practical approach to the assessment and management of:

• BPPV involving all semicircular canals
• Vestibular hypofunction
• Vestibular migraine
• Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD)
• Concussion-related dizziness
• Central vestibular disorders, including HINTS+
• Fall risk and balance impairments
• And more

Who This Course Is For

This course is designed for clinicians who:

• Know dizziness is an area they should understand better, but aren’t sure where to start
• Have treated patients with dizziness with mixed success
• Work with concussion and want to go beyond VOMS
• Want more than BPPV treatment strategies
• Are looking for a practical vestibular refresher or clinical update

What You’ll Walk Away With

By the end of the course, you’ll be better prepared to:

• Explain vestibular anatomy and physiology in clinically relevant terms
• Perform and interpret a comprehensive vestibular assessment
• Identify patients who are appropriate for vestibular rehabilitation and those who require further referral
• Develop and implement individualized vestibular treatment plans
• Establish realistic expectations and recovery timelines with your patients

Bottom line: You’ll leave with a clearer clinical framework and greater confidence when assessing and treating patients with dizziness and balance disorders.
