Concussion Management

Concussion Management

What It Is

A concussion is a brain injury that can occur when the brain accelerates or decelerates inside the skull after a significant impact to the head or another part of the body. The injury can temporarily affect how the brain functions and may produce a range of physical and cognitive symptoms. Brampton Physiotherapy & Sports Rehab provides concussion management focused on identifying the patient's current symptoms and addressing the balance, vision, movement, and exercise-related challenges that can accompany recovery.

Common Symptoms

• Headache or pressure in the head
• Neck pain
• Nausea or vomiting
• Light-headedness
• Balance problems
• Double vision or partial vision loss
• Difficulty with depth perception
• Changes in mobility or memory

How Brampton Physiotherapy & Sports Rehab Can Help

Concussion management at Brampton Physiotherapy & Sports Rehab may include concussion testing, balance and vision therapy, and exercise rehabilitation. Concussion testing can evaluate processing and cognitive abilities following a head injury. Balance and vision therapy may address visual problems that interfere with postural control, while exercise rehabilitation can gradually reintroduce movement and coordinated activity.

Our Brampton Physiotherapy team develops treatment around the symptoms and functional problems identified during assessment, with the goal of supporting a safe return to normal activity.
