About Concussion
Concussion symptoms can include headaches, dizziness, brain fog, and exercise intolerance, and they often involve both the brain and the neck. Physical therapy supports recovery with vestibular and balance work, vision strategies, and a graded return-to-activity plan. The goal is a safe, confident return to sport and daily life.
Expected Recovery Window
Typical: 2–4 weeks. Persistent symptoms: 4–12+ weeks.
