With clinics in East Athens, Danielsville, Madison, and Oconee, expert care is always close to home.
Understanding Sports Concussions
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury caused by a blow or jolt to the head. While symptoms can vary, common signs include:
- Headaches or pressure in the head
- Dizziness or balance issues
- Sensitivity to light or noise
- Memory problems or confusion
- Fatigue or difficulty concentrating
Athletes with untreated concussions risk prolonged symptoms and further injury. That’s why sports concussion rehab is essential.
How Sports Concussion Rehab Helps Recovery
Our physical therapy rehabilitation programs focus on a step-by-step approach to help athletes regain physical, cognitive, and emotional health. Our program includes:
Individualized Treatment Plans
Every concussion is unique. We design a plan tailored to your specific symptoms, challenges, and goals to ensure a safe and effective recovery.
Vestibular Therapy
If dizziness or balance issues are present, vestibular therapy addresses these symptoms through targeted exercises.
Neuromuscular Re-Education
Using advanced tools like the Neubie, we retrain your brain and body to work together, improving coordination and reaction times.
Gradual Return-to-Play Protocol
We guide athletes through a structured program to safely reintroduce physical activity while monitoring symptoms. This prevents setbacks and ensures you’re truly ready to return to your sport.
The Importance of Professional Care
Trying to “tough it out” or self-manage a concussion can delay recovery and lead to serious health risks. Our team at East Athens Physical Therapy specializes in concussion management, providing the expertise needed to navigate this complex injury.
