This book describes a streamlined version of vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT), an exercise-based approach that is of proven value in the treatment of vertigo and dizziness. This simplified form of VRT is intended for use in primary healthcare facilities. As Dr. Han had practiced martial art and ballet, he could pick out necessary movements from those art forms. The selected movements were used to make the VRT exercises. The opening part describes the indications for and the principles of VRT and provides general information on key exercises. The role of VRT in patients with central dizziness is then discussed. The remainder of the book offers clear, precise guidance on the exercises used in simplified VRT, covering general exercises, gaze stability exercises, postural stability exercises, and habituation exercises. The text is supported by numerous photographs that will help both clinicians and patients to implement the exercises correctly and effectively.

Dr. Han is a neurologist working as president of Do Neurology Clinic and Do Balance Center. His major interests are headache, dizziness, tinnitus, sleep problems, and vestibular rehabilitation therapy. He has published several books and papers, including several SCI journals. The transcranial Doppler exam of Do Neurology Clinic was recognized as a national representative technique in 2010. He has made presentations and research posters regarding dizziness, tinnitus, and vestibular rehabilitation therapy in several national and international symposiums. Dr. Han has visited doctors in Japan (2004), Singapore (2005), Italy (2006), Hong Kong (2013), and Australia (2015) to share his experiences and engage in discussions to further his knowledge in his chosen field.
