  • Balance and Coordination: We use vestibular rehabilitation (VRT) to improve stability and reduce dizziness, targeting balance issues linked to the inner ear and brain.

  • Neck Pain and Posture: Exercises to relieve neck pain, improve posture, and reduce tension, helping prevent headaches from neck strain.

  • Strengthening and Flexibility: Mainway physiotherapists guide strengthening and stretching exercises to restore muscle function and flexibility after concussion-related weakness or stiffness.

  • Headache Relief: Manual Therapy techniques like soft tissue massage and joint mobilizations help reduce headaches caused by musculoskeletal issues.

  • Gradual Return to Activity: A structured, step-by-step approach to safely return to physical activities, monitoring for symptom recurrence.

At Mainway Physiotherapy, we see countless concussions from sport injuries and more. When it comes to concussions, many ask us how to identify a concussion and what can they do?  

How to Identify a Concussion?

A concussion is identified by symptoms such as headache, dizziness, confusion, nausea, sensitivity to light or noise, memory problems, and difficulty concentrating, often following a blow or jolt to the head or body.
