Concussion Therapy - Physiotherapy
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury caused by disruption in neurological functioning following a significant impact to the head or elsewhere on the body. The impact causes a biomechanical imbalance within the brain cells, resulting in decreased blood flow and temporary energy deficits within the brain. Symptoms may include loss of consciousness, headache, neck pain, nausea or vomiting, dizziness or balance problems. Concussion therapy through physiotherapy is a specialized approach aimed at safely guiding individuals back to their daily routines and activities. It focuses on alleviating symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and balance issues, ensuring a tailored recovery path. With an emphasis on education, exercise, and specific rehabilitation techniques, this therapy aims to restore function and promote overall well-being.
