What is a Concussion?
A concussion is a type of mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) that occurs when the brain is jolted or shaken inside the skull, often due to a blow to the head, a fall, or any sudden impact or force. This disruption can cause a temporary alteration in brain function, affecting cognitive functions, balance, and coordination. Concussions should always be taken seriously because they can have significant short-term and long-term effects on brain health. It is really important to see a healthcare professional if you think you have had a concussion.

How Does Concussion Rehabilitation Work?
Concussion rehabilitation focuses on managing symptoms related to a concussion, such as balance issues, dizziness, headaches, and visual disturbances. A practitioner will assess your symptoms and tailor a treatment plan that may include:
- Vestibular rehabilitation – Exercises to improve balance and reduce dizziness.
- Cervicogenic therapy– Addressing neck pain or stiffness that may contribute to symptoms.
- Visual rehabilitation – Exercises to improve eye coordination and reduce visual disturbances.
- Gradual exertion– A graduated return-to-activity protocol to safely increase physical activity without triggering symptoms.
Our practitioners use the most up to date evidence to support individuals through the phases of concussion recovery, and safely support return to function.
