Physiotherapy can play an important role in concussion recovery. A physio trained in concussion care can assess how the injury is affecting different systems in the body, including the neck, balance system, and vision.
Treatment is tailored to your symptoms and may include movement therapy, vestibular rehabilitation, manual therapy, and gradual return-to-activity planning.
