Four Ways Physical Therapy Can Help With Post-Concussive Symptoms

Concussions are rehabilitative injuries. Gone are the days of resting until symptoms subside! As we have discussed previously, rest beyond the first couple of days following a concussion can be detrimental to long term recovery. There can be many symptoms following a concussion that affect different systems. These symptoms can include: dizziness, lightheadedness, balance impairments, headache, neck pain, fatigue, blurry vision, nausea, and eye fatigue. A physical therapist with specialized training in concussion can evaluate these symptoms and develop a treatment plan to assist patients with a more timely recovery.
