Concussion Therapy in Vancouver: How Physiotherapy Supports Your Recovery

Recover safely and effectively from a concussion with physiotherapy at Vancity Physio in Vancouver. Learn how concussion therapy can help reduce symptoms and restore balance, focus, and confidence.

Understanding Concussion Therapy at Vancity Physio

A concussion can happen in an instant a slip, a bump, a sports collision, or even a car accident. While the effects might not always be visible, they can seriously impact how you feel and function. At Vancity Physio, our Concussion Therapy programs are designed to help people in Vancouver recover safely, using evidence-based physiotherapy techniques that support both body and mind.

What Is a Concussion?

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that temporarily affects brain function. Symptoms can appear immediately or develop over hours and days. Some of the most common include:

  • Headaches or pressure in the head

  • Dizziness and balance issues

  • Sensitivity to light or noise

  • Difficulty focusing or remembering

  • Fatigue and “brain fog”

  • Mood changes or irritability

While initial rest is important, research shows that guided, gradual rehabilitation is key to a full recovery — and that’s where physiotherapy plays a crucial role.

How Physiotherapy Helps Concussion Recovery

At Vancity Physio, our concussion therapy focuses on helping you regain control, confidence, and clarity. Every recovery plan is tailored to your specific symptoms and goals, but may include:

1. Comprehensive Assessment

We begin with a thorough assessment to understand your symptoms and identify which systems are affected — whether that’s balance, neck movement, or eye coordination.

2. Vestibular Rehabilitation

If you’re feeling dizzy or off-balance, our physiotherapists use specialized vestibular exercises to retrain your inner ear and restore stability.

3. Neck and Spine Treatment

Neck strain is common after a concussion. Gentle manual therapy, posture correction, and mobility exercises can ease tension headaches and improve movement.

4. Graded Exercise Therapy

Complete rest isn’t always the best approach. We guide you through light, progressive exercise that helps your brain and body adapt safely without worsening symptoms.

5. Return-to-Work or Return-to-Sport Planning

When you’re ready, we’ll help you transition back to your regular activities with a structured plan that ensures you don’t push too hard, too soon.
