How Can Physiotherapy Help Concussion Injuries?
It’s time we take concussions more seriously
Concussions are becoming more and more recognized and diagnosed in sport, motor vehicle accidents, and regular old day to day injuries. You don’t need to have lost consciousness or be hit in the head specifically to have suffered a concussion. Dizziness, headache, feeling foggy, fatigued, light or noise sensitivity, motion sickness, and difficulty concentrating are all common concussion symptoms.
Advances in best practice for treatment has also evolved and rest in a dark room is no longer considered the best approach. Early intervention with a functional, system specific approach with a concussion Physio can significantly improve recovery potential and timeline following a concussion injury. Our clinicians take a functional approach, prescribing evidence-based rehab programs that can be incorporated in daily life and activities, including work and sport.
