Rest is a phase, not a plan.
A concussion leaves you with more questions than a diagnosis. When is it safe to go back to work? Why is the headache still there? Concussion management is the part of care that answers those questions with something better than waiting: an evaluation of what is actually producing your symptoms, and objective measures to track whether it is improving.
Gradually and systematically reintroducing physical and mental activity does more for recovery than rest alone. So your Doctor of Physical Therapy screens the cervical, vestibular and ocular systems, finds which of them is driving your symptoms, sets your activity to what you can tolerate today, and raises it as you tolerate more. The active treatment that runs alongside it lives on our concussion rehab page.
How the decision gets made.
Evaluation and Baseline
Your first visit runs about an hour with the Doctor of Physical Therapy you will see every visit after it. We take the injury history, screen the neck, the vestibular system and the eyes, and record objective measures we can compare against later.
Symptom-Guided Monitoring
We work from what provokes your symptoms, what eases them, what predisposed you, and what caused the injury. Activity climbs in steps. If a step provokes symptoms, we back off, adjust, and go again.
Return to Learn, Then Return to Sport
School and work come back first, then a graded return to exercise and contact. You are cleared when you can hold the load without symptoms, not when a set number of days has passed. We coordinate with your physician along the way.
