If it is your first time seeing the therapist for this injury or it has been longer than 6 months since the last visit, an assessment is required. The assessment involves a one on one evaluation by the therapist to determine the nature of the concussion symptoms and the best plan for management of these symptoms. The session involves health history, physical assessment, education and treatment.

Home Assessment to identify barriers/hazards to proper function and make recommendations

A concussion is a brain injury that can affect how your brain works. Concussions may happen because of a hit to the head, neck, face or somewhere else on the body that makes the brain move quickly back and forth inside the skull. The brain can become injured if this happens. Falling, being in a collision, playing sports or being hit by an object or person are some examples of actions that can cause a concussion. Only a medical professional (doctor or nurse practitioner) can medically diagnose a concussion.
