It’s a great clinic – Sarah is my physio and she has been awesome. She is really supportive and got me through a concussion, and continues to be a huge help.
I have been coming to PhysioPlus for various therapies over the years and have always been pleased with the effects of the services. Most recently, I became a “regular” after I suffered a concussion and received physiotherapy. I would highly recommend
Jen was great to work with. Had no idea what a vestibular therapist did but helped work through my post concussion issues and got me back to full activity.
Our team of certified practitioners are at the forefront of concussion diagnosis, management, and rehabilitation allowing us to provide the most comprehensive and best in research-proven concussion care. Our concussion care program is an evidence-based, collaborative, and active approach that will help you return to school, work and sports more quickly and safely.
The most recent evidence is showing us that absolute rest beyond the first 24 – 48 hours (in most cases) is no longer considered the best approach to concussion care. The current research is showing us that early intervention of various therapies can significantly improve recovery, and has led to a more active approach to concussion treatment.
Our certified clinicians have specialized training in the treatment and rehabilitation of acute concussions as well as ongoing concussion-related symptoms such as headaches, balance/dizziness issues, visual disturbances, reading difficulties, trouble concentrating, etc.
Your practitioner will perform a thorough medical history and physical examination and will recommend the most effective treatment approach to meet your needs. Your treatment plan may include hands-on treatment and whiplash treatment, vestibular rehabilitation, visual rehabilitation, diet and nutrition, exercise therapy, or education and reassurance. For very complex cases we also have a referral network of specialists that can be accessed should your case require additional care.
We provide modifications and communicate with teachers, family physicians, and coaches to facilitate a safe return to the activities our patients need, want, and love to do.
We offer a stepwise reintegration into school, work, and sports through a process involving a graduated reintroduction of mental, physical, and sport-specific activities while assessing symptoms and recovery.
Physiotherapy treatment for concussions can include hand-on treatment to reduce neck pain and headaches often associated with a concussion, specific stretches, and even eye motion training to reduce headaches and nausea following a concussion. Physiotherapy programs for concussion often build in vestibular therapy, which helps you orient yourself during periods of lightheadedness or loss of balance. To encourage this your physiotherapist will introduce you to specialized activities, including fixing your gaze at a certain point in the distance, or using simple movements to stabilize your core and limbs.
We offer a step-wise program for reintegration into school, work, and sports through a process involving a gradual reintroduction of mental, physical, and sport-specific activities while carefully assessing symptoms, performance, and recovery.
We provide rehabilitation programs for individuals experiencing symptoms that affect their ability to perform at school or work. Throughout the recovery process, we facilitate a step-wise reintegration back into the school and work environment through modifications and communication with physicians, teachers, and school administrative staff.
Our step-wise process gradually introduces the athlete back into their specific sporting environment. We reintroduce varying degrees of physical and sport specific activity, while carefully assessing symptoms, performance and recovery. Physical and cognitive tests are used to confirm their level of recovery and ability to safely return to full play.
This is not something you can ignore. Regardless of the perceived severity, following it is incredibly important that you check in with a trained physiotherapist or physician to ensure proper receiver and reduce the risk of long-term symptoms.
