This week, in recognition of Brain Injury Awareness Month, we look at how physical therapy can help post-concussive symptoms.

Generally, for mild concussion, the prescription for the first day after injury is rest for body and mind. After that, you can begin moving in short bursts. The key is to take it slowly and monitor for symptoms and side effects. Our concussion treatment team can help guide you through the recovery process.
