Dizziness Can Be Stubborn - What You Need to Know

Dizziness can be stubborn. Whether you continue to experience dizziness or are dealing with it for the very first time, we’re here to help. Dizziness (including vertigo) affects 20-30% of people in their lifetime and vestibular problems are commonly the cause.

Join Sheelah Woodhouse, a Vestibular Physiotherapist with nearly 30 years of experience, for an online webinar about vestibular rehabilitation and persistent symptoms. She’ll be discussing:

  • What vestibular rehabilitation is
  • Reasons why dizziness persists or reoccurs
  • What to do if your symptoms are persisting or reoccurring

When: September 23rd, 8PM EST

This online webinar is free of charge. Just fill out your information below.

When seeking care at Lifemark, every patient receives a comprehensive, evidence-informed, and individualized assessment. These assessments determine whether or not vestibular rehabilitation is an appropriate approach, and if so which combination of treatments may be indicated.
