A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) that can occur with or without direct impact to the head. It can significantly affect brain function, balance, vision, and overall quality of life. While many symptoms—such as headaches, dizziness, brain fog, and sensitivity to light or sound—may improve with time, proper assessment and treatment are essential for a safe and complete recovery.
At Williams Lake Physiotherapy Clinic, we provide comprehensive concussion care, beginning with an initial baseline assessment that includes cognitive and physical evaluations. From there, we create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your recovery needs.
Our Concussion Treatment Services Include:
- Exertional Testing & Sub-Symptom Threshold Exercise Programs – Safe return-to-sport readiness assessments and guided exercise plans for persistent symptoms.
- Vestibular, Oculomotor & Cervical Spine Rehabilitation – Targeted therapies to improve balance, reduce dizziness, and relieve neck pain.
- Balance, Reaction Time & Neurocognitive Testing – Pre-season baseline testing and post-injury assessments to support safe return to activity.
- Educational Resources & Symptom Management Strategies – Guidance on physical and cognitive rest, with research-backed recommendations tailored to individual recovery timelines.
During the early stage of recovery, a period of relative symptom-limited rest is recommended—typically between 24 to 48 hours—before gradually reintroducing activity. Every concussion is unique, and our expert team ensures a personalized approach to help you recover safely and confidently.
