Concussion Management
What We Can Do To Help You
A concussion is a form of traumatic brain injury (TBI) that occurs when the brain is jolted or shaken within the skull, typically due to impacts like a blow to the head, a fall, or a vehicle accident. Effective management and treatment of concussions are crucial to promote recovery and prevent long-term complications.
At Physiozone, we offer a comprehensive concussion management program designed to address the multifaceted nature of this injury. Our approach includes a range of physiotherapy interventions tailored to the specific symptoms and needs of each patient. Key components of our concussion management include:
- Vestibular Rehabilitation: Exercises aimed at improving balance, coordination, and reducing symptoms of dizziness and vertigo, which are common following a concussion.
- Cervical Spine Rehabilitation: Focused exercises to enhance neck strength, range of motion, and stability, addressing any associated cervical spine issues that may arise.
- Craniosacral Therapy: Gentle manual techniques that aim to alleviate headaches and support overall brain function, promoting a more effective recovery process.
- Therapeutic Exercises: A regimen of exercises designed to improve overall strength, endurance, and flexibility, aiding in the restoration of physical function.
- Patient Education: Guidance on symptom management, injury prevention strategies, and a safe return to daily activities and sports, ensuring a well-rounded approach to recovery.
