The assessment and treatment of vestibular and balance disorders has evolved significantly, yet a critical variable remains underutilized in most clinical protocols: the gravito-inertial acceleration vector. The GIA represents the brain's primary reference signal for spatial orientation, combining the effects of gravity and linear acceleration to inform the otolith organs of head position and movement in space. For clinicians managing dizziness, concussion, dysautonomia, imbalance, and motion sensitivity, fluency in GIA vector mechanics is no longer a niche specialization. It is a foundational clinical competency.

This one-credit functional neurology course, led by Dr. David Traster DC, MS, DACNB, translates the neuroscience of gravito-inertial acceleration into precise, clinically actionable assessment and treatment strategies. Participants gain the ability to strategically alter head tilt, translation, and body position relative to the GIA vector to drive targeted neuroplasticity within vestibular, cerebellar, autonomic, and multisensory pathways. The result is a refined clinical toolkit capable of improving gaze stability, postural control, autonomic regulation, and spatial orientation in even the most complex patient presentations.

This course is designed for licensed clinicians who already bring strong neurological and vestibular foundations to their practice and are ready to refine their assessment precision. Chiropractic neurologists, functional neurologists, rehabilitation specialists, and clinicians working with concussion, vestibular dysfunction, and autonomic conditions will find immediate clinical application in the frameworks presented here.
