Research Method : A case study that is presented as a descriptive narrative is the research approach that was chosen. Research subjects consisted of a single benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) specimen that met the specimen acceptance criteria. The study was carried out 6 times in therapy at the FIT Centrum, Aesthetic, Sport, Rehab Center & Food Pekanbaru clinic.
