Webinar Content FAQs

What will I learn from this webinar?
You’ll gain a structured framework for assessing and treating balance dysfunction by exploring the visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems. You’ll also learn how to apply evidence-based testing, select the most appropriate interventions, and implement long-term strategies to help patients achieve sustained improvements in balance and stability.

Will I learn new balance exercises to use with my patients?
Absolutely. Participants will walk away with five new balance exercises and multiple intervention ideas that can be incorporated immediately into treatment plans for patients with balance impairments.

Does the webinar address neuroplasticity or neurogenesis in balance retraining?
Yes. A key part of the course explores how neurogenesis and neuroplasticity contribute to balance improvement, helping you design treatment plans that promote long-term progress and prevent recurrent falls.

Is this webinar applicable to older adults or neurological populations?
Definitely. The strategies taught apply to a wide range of patients—from older adults at risk of falling to those with neurological, vestibular, or musculoskeletal conditions affecting balance and postural control.
