What To Expect On Your First Concussion Rehabilitation Visit
On your first visit we require you to fill out a health history form so we can get to know you better. From there you will be taken into a treatment room to discuss your mechanism of injury and symptoms. The physiotherapist will perform an assessment that may include testing of the head, eyes and neck, balance and/or vestibular system. The assessment results will guide the physiotherapist on designing a treatment program designed specifically for you.
Treatment for concussion can involve a range of techniques. A combination of education and graded exercises, along with manual therapy, vestibular rehabilitation, occulomotor retraining and modalities such as acupuncture as required.
