What is a Concussion?
Concussions are a form of traumatic brain injury resulting from a sudden blow or jolt to the head or body. They can occur during sports, playground play, accidents, or falls, and often lead to symptoms like headaches, dizziness, memory problems, and difficulty concentrating. Physiotherapy can play an important role is resolving symptoms and safely returning to sport.
At Kids Physio, our team understands the unique challenges children face when dealing with concussions. Our physiotherapy approach focuses on a gradual return to physical and cognitive activities and carefully monitoring symptoms throughout the recovery process. By addressing symptoms early and implementing targeted interventions, we aim to minimize the impact of concussions on children's physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being.
Through ongoing education and support, we empower children and their families to navigate the recovery process with confidence and resilience, promoting a safe and successful return to their everyday activities.
Multiple Kids Physio Group locations are officially Complete Concussions™-certified. If your child has sustained a potential concussion, please book a Post Concussion Initial Assessment. If you can’t find anything in the next 48 hours, please give us a call, so we can try to fit you in. It’s important that we provide education and begin treatment as quickly as possible. Although we recommend a baseline test, we can still provide treatment without one. If you are interested in having your child's baseline tested, please book a Concussion Baseline Test at any of our clinics.
