Physical therapy can help with concussions in various ways. The help that physical therapy can provide for concussions depends on the symptoms you’re experiencing, where the head trauma occurred, and if there are any surrounding areas injured as well, such as the shoulder or neck. For example, if your concussion occurred due to a neck injury, your physical therapist can help by providing neck rehabilitation exercises and techniques. If you’re experiencing dizziness or balancing problems, a physical therapist can provide vestibular rehabilitation treatments. Your therapist can provide many other therapies and treatments if you’re experiencing a concussion. Make sure you discuss your treatment options with your physical therapist if you seek physical therapy for a concussion. With these therapies and techniques for treating concussions, physical therapists can: • Restore endurance and strength • Improve balance and stop the dizziness • Reduce headaches • Help you return to normal activity quickly, but at the right time
