Concussion & Headache at Power Physiotherapy and Massage

SERVICE OVERVIEW

What this service involves

Concussion rehabilitation and headache-related physiotherapy require careful screening because symptoms such as dizziness, headache, neck pain, light sensitivity and reduced activity tolerance may have different causes.

The first visit reviews the injury history, current symptoms, activity tolerance and neck or balance concerns. Recommendations are gradual and adjusted to symptom response rather than based on a fixed timeline.
