Overview
Welcome to Embodia’s Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) Resource Package, created by Cheryl Wylie, a vestibular physiotherapist.
This Resource Package Includes:
- Access to all BPPV tests and treatment videos which will be added to your Embodia Exercise Library.
- These exercise videos are designed to speak directly to the patient to guide them through the test or treatment.
- This can be used as a resource with telehealth appointments, prescribed via Embodia's web and mobile apps, or can be printed off as follow-up care after a treatment session.
- A Practitioner’s BPPV Flow Chart. This chart is the simplest and easiest to follow BPPV flow chart available, including step-by-step directions for all treatment maneuvers for quick access in a clinic setting.
- BPPV Patient Education Handout, designed to educate your patient about their BPPV, and reduce anxiety and fear around the condition.
Audience
This Resource Package is intended for physiotherapists, occupational therapists, chiropractors, kinesiologists, athletic therapists, PTA/OTAs, medical doctors, nurses, and anyone else in the healthcare industry who may come across individuals with BPPV.
You can prescribe these exercises to your patients if you are an Embodia Member (subscriber). The Embodia Membership includes home exercise prescription, free mobile apps for practitioners and patients, remote patient engagement and monitoring, two-way messaging, telerehab, and more (including a bonus of 80 free online courses). You can easily subscribe by going to My Profile > My Memberships on your account or email us at support@embodiaapp.com
Course Alert! BPPV Feature: Assessing and Treating Dizziness
Cheryl Wylie's online course 'BPPV Feature: Assessing and Treating Dizziness' complements this resource package.
Not all therapists are interested in taking post-graduate courses to learn vestibular rehabilitation, but many know the importance of recognizing BPPV with our patients, and the value of being able to resolve it. Take this opportunity to learn more about this condition and feel comfortable completing the test and treatment maneuvers with your patients.

Healing Vertigo
Healing Vertigo is an App designed to walk you through the assessment and treatment of BPPV. It uses the same patient-directed videos and treatment logic flow discussed in this webinar and resource package, making it a seamless resource for you and your patients. Use it as a practitioner treatment guide with your BPPV patients, or recommend it to you patient's post-treatment for self-management of this condition. It reduces the challenge of BPPV treatment significantly, and gives you and your patients more confidence in taking on this condition.
