Concussion Recovery
Gradual return-to-activity with vestibular and cervical components.
Most concussions resolve in 7–14 days, but a significant minority develop persistent symptoms — usually a combination of vestibular dysfunction, cervical contributions, and exertion intolerance. Structured PT addresses each component and substantially shortens recovery time.
Understanding
What is Concussion Recovery?
Post-concussion symptoms can include dizziness, headache, neck pain, exertion intolerance, fogginess, and balance problems. PT particularly helps the vestibular, cervical, and exertion-tolerance components.

Concussion Recovery — FAQs
When should I start PT after a concussion?
If symptoms persist beyond 7–10 days, structured PT often shortens recovery. Earlier intervention than that isn't usually beneficial — initial rest is appropriate.
