CONCUSSION PHYSIOTHERAPY IN CHESTERMERE: SUPPORTING RECOVERY AND RESTORING FUNCTION
Concussion physiotherapy is a specialized form of care designed to help individuals recover from a concussion and manage the symptoms associated with it. Concussions, a type of mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), can affect various aspects of physical, cognitive, and emotional health, leading to symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, balance problems, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Concussion physiotherapy focuses on addressing these symptoms and supporting the brain’s recovery through a personalized, evidence-based approach.
