Post Concussion & Mild TBI Rehabilitation
Support for Recovery and Everyday Life
A concussion can affect much more than you might expect in your daily life. Concussion, also known as mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), can happen from a knock to the head, whiplash or other forces that move the brain in your skull. This may occur during sport or physical activity, a car or bike accident, a fall or from physical assault including blows to the head and neck, shaking, shoving or non-fatal strangulation.
Symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, memory changes and feeling overwhelmed can make everyday life, work, study and the things you enjoy feel harder than they should. Our team is here to help you understand what’s happening, develop and put in place practical strategies and support your concussion recovery.
