Concussion Rehabilitation & Treatment

Individuals who suffer from a concussion or mild traumatic brain injury from falls, car accidents or sports injuries can benefit from treatment by a physical therapist at University Hospitals. Our physical therapists are concussion specialists who are ImPACT concussion testing-credentialed and vestibular-trained.

Goals for concussion rehab physical therapy include:

• Decrease dizziness and improve balance
• Decrease head and neck pain
• Improve activity tolerance to return to work, school and play

Physical therapy concussion treatment may include:

• Vestibular activities and dynamic balance training
• Oculomotor (eye movements) and reaction times
• Progression of cardiovascular exertion and sport- or work-specific training with close monitoring of symptoms
• Manual therapy, postural training and neck exercises
• Return-to-play protocols, especially when without access to an athletic trainer
