Concussion Physiotherapy
Overview of Concussion Physiotherapy

A concussion can impact more than just your head. It can affect your vision, balance, concentration, mood, and energy levels. At Advantage Chiropractic Henderson, our physiotherapists offer a safe and structured path to recovery following a concussion or mild traumatic brain injury.
We help you regain confidence in your movement, support your return to normal activity, and reduce the long-term effects of concussion.
What Is Post-Concussion Physiotherapy?
Post-concussion physiotherapy involves assessment and treatment to manage both physical and neurological symptoms. Our goal is to help you recover fully, without rushing or risking setbacks.
Your treatment plan may include:
-
Graded return-to-activity planning
-
Balance and vestibular training
-
Neck and upper back mobility
-
Headache and tension relief techniques
-
Visual tracking and coordination exercises
-
Energy pacing and fatigue management
-
Education on symptom triggers and rest strategies
No two concussions are the same. We personalise every recovery plan based on your symptoms and lifestyle needs.
Common Symptoms We Treat
-
We support patients who experience:
-
Headaches or pressure in the head
-
Neck stiffness or discomfort
-
Sensitivity to light or sound

Brain fog or difficulty concentrating

Fatigue or poor sleep

Irritability, mood swings, or anxiety
