Concussion Symptoms and Treatment
Ongoing symptoms can include headache, dizziness, blurred vision, neck ache, mood irritability, brain fog, and fatigue. These symptoms need to be prioritized, with treatment fitting well into an already busy schedule for students and parents.
Specific tests are carefully chosen to determine the underlying cause of the symptoms. Exercises are prescribed for each individual, ensuring your therapy is performed in the most efficient and effective manner.
The frequency of clinic visits in the Concussion Protocol is 4 days in a row and it is essentially and exercise only protocol, but in some cases manual therapy may be offered for headache, whiplash, or neck/back ache that is often associated with concussion. This can include gentle massage, joint traction/mobilization, and stretching.
All therapies are performed in a comfortable fashion, putting you and your child at ease. Duration of therapy varies widely according to the severity and number of symptoms, and pre-existing medical conditions.

What is Concussion Physical Therapy?
If you have dizziness or difficulty with your balance following a concussion, a type of physical therapy called vestibular physical therapy may help. The vestibular system, which includes the inner ear and its connections with the brain, helps you keep your balance and prevent dizziness.
What is Post Concussion Syndrome?
Post–concussion syndrome, also known as post-concussive syndrome or PCS, is a set of symptoms that may continue for weeks, months, or a year or more after a concussion – a minor form of traumatic brain injury (TBI).
