Concussion rehabilitation in Abbotsford

Structured, staged recovery after concussion so returning to work, school or sport happens safely rather than by guesswork.

What is concussion rehab?

Recovery that is guided rather than guessed

Concussion affects people differently: headaches, dizziness, fogginess, light sensitivity, poor sleep or difficulty concentrating. Prolonged complete rest is no longer recommended, carefully graded activity produces better outcomes.

We assess which systems are contributing to your symptoms, the neck, the balance system, visual tracking or exertion tolerance and treat those specifically while guiding your return to normal life.

Good to know, when to seek urgent care

Concussion rehabilitation is for recovery, not emergencies. Seek immediate medical attention for worsening headache, repeated vomiting, seizures, weakness, slurred speech or increasing drowsiness. If in doubt, contact your doctor or emergency services first.

How soon after a concussion should I come in?

Once urgent medical assessment has ruled out serious injury, early guided rehabilitation is generally beneficial.

Should I rest in a dark room?

Brief initial rest is sensible but prolonged isolation tends to slow recovery. Graded activity is the current standard.

How long does recovery take?

Many people recover within weeks. Persistent symptoms are exactly what targeted rehabilitation is designed to address.

Do you handle return-to-sport clearance?

We guide staged return-to-sport progression and coordinate with your physician where formal clearance is required.
