Physical therapy is a valuable component in the management and rehabilitation of individuals with concussions. Physical therapists help manage concussion-related symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, balance problems, and visual disturbances through techniques like manual therapy and gentle exercises. They also provide vestibular rehabilitation to address balance issues and visual rehabilitation to improve eye movements and coordination. Customized exercise programs are developed to gradually reintroduce physical activity and improve stamina and cardiovascular fitness. Physical therapists educate patients on activity modification and lifestyle adjustments, treat neck-related issues, and collaborate with other healthcare professionals for comprehensive care. Treatment plans are tailored to each patient's specific needs and goals.
All too often we assume trauma must be caused by a major event, but trauma comes in all shapes and sizes and includes anything that affects a person to the point that it reduces their quality of life.

However, when your quality of life is affected by a traumatic event, it’s time to reach out for professional help.
