Concussion rehabilitation, more accurately referred to as a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), is a specialized area of care in which the physical therapist is a key member of the team. Treatment requires a carefully customized approach as each person’s clinical presentation, and symptoms can widely vary.

What is our approach?

A concussion occurs from any event where the brain is jarred or shakes within the skull either from a direct blow to the head or indirectly to the body. Since the injury is to the brain, symptoms can include dizziness or vertigo, low energy, nausea, inability to concentrate or sleep well and poor memory among other symptoms. Concussion rehabilitation traditionally required complete rest as the best course of treatment, however the latest research indicates early activity and progressive exercise centered around symptom management is the best course of care.

Unseen Damage

Imaging, such as an MRI or CT scan, will not detect a concussion even if you’ve had one.

Second concussions suffered before one has recovered from the first are much more serious. High school athletes’ recovery time for a sports concussion are longer than those of college athletes. Concussion rehabilitation is an important part of recovery and prevention of long-term damage.
