Concussion

A concussion is a traumatic brain injury. It can happen from sports, a car accident or a fall. A detailed assessment is completed by your physio. They will help you progress through the stages of healing. Often concussions are associated with neck pain and headaches. Your physio can help you with manual therapy to ensure the joints are moving well, mobilization of the soft tissue, education, and strengthening of neck muscles.

Consider booking a free consultation or an individualized assessment with our Occupational Therapist if you are struggling with persistent symptoms post-concussion. Occupational Therapy can help with:

• Improving sleep.
• Pacing activity to conserve energy and reduce symptom flare-ups.
• Using strategies to compensate for cognitive fatigue or brain fog.
• Return-to-work planning.
• Gradual re-engagement in activity.
• Managing stress, anxiety, and/or low mood.
