About Concussion Rehabilitation

A concussion is a form of brain injury that’s frequently acquired through motor vehicle accidents, sports, and work accidents. Concussions occur when you take a strong blow to the head, go through a quick whip-like jerk of the neck, or simply experience a powerful hit to your body that jolts your head and neck.

When your brain is rattled or jostled in this way, it can sustain physical and biochemical disruptions. As a result, you may experience a number of physical, emotional, and psychological problems. These include persistent headaches, dizziness, balance issues, vision problems, trouble with focusing, fatigue and sleep disturbances.

Post-concussion Syndrome

Concussion symptoms tend to resolve swiftly and completely within a week (7-10 days) for most adults. However, about 20% of individuals continue to experience these symptoms beyond this period, known as post-concussive syndrome.

Our Approach

At Physio Vibe, we’re all about helping you to get back on your feet through highly personalized physiotherapy care in the comfort of your home. We focus on evidence-based treatment methods aimed at eliminating, or limiting, common symptoms of Post-concussion Syndrome. Manual Therapy, which involves the use of various hands-on techniques, and corrective exercise are at the core of our clinical practice. Here are some examples of post-concussion issues we may help you deal with:

Neck Dysfunction

Concussions often come in with neck issues including stiff joints, tight muscles, postural changes, and muscle weakness. These are often accompanied by dizziness and headaches. These problems can be handled effectively with the aid of a range of manual techniques, correctional exercises, and ergonomic modifications.

Vestibular Dysfunction

Post-concussion Syndrome can come with Vestibular Dysfunction, which includes a range of problems to do with your perception, postural awareness and balance. These include vertigo, dizziness and instability. Our specialized Physiotherapists in Vestibular rehabilitation will conduct a comprehensive assessment and carry out a treatment plan to restore optimal physical function.

Fatigue and low Exercise Tolerance

Undue fatigue and low exercise tolerance/reduced physical endurance are common culprits in Post-Concussion Syndrome. Upon careful assessment of your exercise tolerance through a number of home-based tests, we’ll formulate and implement a personalized plan to restore your physical endurance and capacity in general.

Headaches and migraines

Research shows physiotherapy techniques like spinal mobilizations, soft tissue manipulation and exercise as highly effective for managing Migraine headaches. Our role is to craft and implement a sound treatment plan based on these methods to help you resume a normal life after the Concussion.
