Overview
This Embodia resource package focuses on the connection between concussions and positional vertigo (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo - BPPV), a common condition where changes in head position cause dizziness and balance issues. The package provides the tools to assess and treat positional vertigo effectively in post-concussion patients. It includes evidence-based techniques to treat BPPV in the posterior and horizontal canals.
Learning Objectives
In this resource package, you will learn:
- The connection between Concussion and Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
- Why BPPV causes dizziness
- A systematic flow for diagnosis and treatment of BPPV that patients can perform independently
Audience
This resource package contains content designed for patients who experience dizziness or a spinning sensation with changes of head position ie lying down, rolling over in bed, looking up, looking down.
Healthcare professionals may find this to be a helpful introduction to concussion management; however, the content is primarily designed to be shared with patients. If you are an Embodia Tier 2 or 3 Member you can digitally share this content with your patients.

What is a Resource Package?
A resource package is not a complete online course. Rather, a resource package on Embodia contains patient exercises and/or education that can be prescribed to patients by an Embodia Member (subscriber) with a Tier 2 or 3 Membership. You can view membership pricing and what's included in the membership tiers by going here.
While you can access/purchase resource packages without an Embodia Membership, you will get the most out of a resource package if you have a Tier 2 or 3 Membership.
