Common Questions About Concussion Physiotherapy
What Are the Signs That I Might Need Concussion Treatment?
Symptoms of a concussion can vary, but common signs include headaches, dizziness, nausea, balance problems, fatigue, sensitivity to light or noise, difficulty concentrating, and memory issues. If you’ve experienced a head injury and are noticing any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek professional evaluation and treatment, as concussions can have significant impacts if not properly managed.

Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in concussion recovery. Our therapists at Shyft Physiotherapy use a variety of techniques including balance and vestibular rehabilitation, visual coordination exercises, and specific physical exercises to address symptoms. We also provide guidance on safely returning to daily activities, work, or sports, and offer strategies for managing cognitive and emotional symptoms associated with concussions.
How Long Does Concussion Recovery Typically Take?
The duration of concussion recovery varies greatly from person to person. While some individuals may recover within a few weeks, others might take several months or longer. Recovery time depends on factors like the severity of the concussion, the individual’s health history, and how effectively the concussion is managed. At Shyft Physiotherapy, we provide personalized care plans and continuously monitor your progress to optimize your recovery.
Can Concussions Be Prevented?
While not all concussions can be prevented, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk. These include wearing appropriate protective gear during sports, ensuring safe environments in both work and play settings, and following safety guidelines for activities that pose a risk of head injury. Education on recognizing concussions and understanding the importance of proper treatment following a head injury is also key to prevention.
