Meet the expert leading the Vestibular Rehabilitation Program.
Dr. Saravanan Chockalingam, PT, DPT, C-OMPT, CLT, C-IAYT brings specialized clinical and educational experience in orthopedic and vestibular rehabilitation.

His professional background includes being an ABPTRFE-Credentialed Orthopedic Physical Therapy Residency Graduate, a Clinical Instructor in Vestibular Rehabilitation, and a Clinical Mentor in Orthopedic Physical Therapy Residency in the USA.
Across this two-day program, participants will strengthen their clinical approach to patients presenting with dizziness, vestibular dysfunction, and balance disorders.
The training will explore:
• Vestibular anatomy and physiology
• Structured assessment of dizziness and balance disorders
• Recognition of common vestibular dysfunctions
• Diagnostic testing and interpretation
• Cervicogenic dizziness
• Adaptation strategies
• Substitution strategies
• Habituation exercises
• Balance rehabilitation
• Individualized treatment planning
• Clinical reasoning and case integration

Because “dizziness” is only the starting point. The real clinical challenge is identifying the presentation, selecting the appropriate assessment, interpreting the findings, and choosing the rehabilitation strategy that fits the patient.

Three days designed to turn spinal manual therapy into a structured clinical reasoning process.
The Advanced Spine Rehabilitation Program introduces Combined Movement Theory (CMT), a movement-based manual therapy framework for the examination and treatment of spinal dysfunction. The program integrates spinal mobilization, manipulative thrust techniques, muscle-energy techniques, specific exercise, graded exposure, and home-treatment strategies.
Led by Prof Christopher James McCarthy, the training progresses from the cervico-thoracic spine to the thoraco-lumbar region and then to lumbosacral assessment and manipulation. The practical focus includes observation, palpation, active and passive movement assessment, directional sensitivity, treatment-position selection, treatment progression or regression, and case-based application.
The emphasis is not on collecting isolated techniques. It is on understanding how starting position, movement findings, pain response, risk-benefit reasoning, and the patient’s broader presentation influence treatment selection.

12–14 December 2026 | Dubai, UAE | 20 CME. Registration is now open.
