Symptoms that persist have a cause you can treat.

Most of what lingers after a concussion is not the brain injury itself. It is the systems that got knocked out of sync alongside it: a neck that absorbed the same force as the head, a vestibular system that no longer agrees with your eyes, and a body that has lost its tolerance for exertion. Every one of those responds to treatment.

So concussion rehab is hands-on and active. Manual therapy for the cervical spine. Vestibular exercises for dizziness and imbalance. Eye and head movement drills for visual symptoms. A supervised exertion progression that rebuilds tolerance without setting you back. If you are still working out what is driving your symptoms and when you can return, start with concussion management.

What the treatment actually involves.

Cervical and Manual Work

The neck absorbed the same force the head did, and it drives more post-concussion headache and dizziness than most people expect. Hands-on treatment restores the motion and takes the tension out of it.

Vestibular and Oculomotor Retraining

Specific exercises for the inner ear and for eye and head movement, aimed at the dizziness, the visual symptoms and the lost balance. This is the work that makes a busy room tolerable again.

Graded Exertion and Strength

Supervised exercise raised in steps, with strength work to rebuild what the layoff cost you, until you can hold the demands of your sport, your job, or an ordinary day.

Symptoms down. Tolerance up.

Rehab targets the specific systems producing your symptoms, which is why the change is something you can feel.

Relief From the Loudest Symptoms

Targeted treatment for headache, nausea, dizziness and light sensitivity, instead of waiting them out in a dark room.

Balance and Confidence Back

Vestibular and balance retraining rebuilds your equilibrium, which lowers the odds of the next fall and the next injury.

Tolerance for Exertion

A supervised return to exercise, so you trust your body again, whether that means a full shift or a full practice.

Fewer Long-Term Complications

Treating the cervical, vestibular and ocular deficits directly addresses what turns a concussion into a months-long problem.
