Concussion and Vestibular Physiotherapy – Port Moody
Benefits of Concussion and Vestibular Physiotherapy
A concussion is a complex injury that can have many different symptoms. Our in-depth and detailed assessment at our clinic in Port Moody includes a symptom report, cognitive screening, balance assessment, exertion therapy assessment, and a vestibule-ocular screening – using the latest infrared goggle technology.
Vestibular rehabilitation focuses on improving the relationship between your brain, eyes, inner ear, muscles, and nerves, post-concussion. Through our multi-faceted and accurate approach, we are able to improve patient care and treat many symptoms including vertigo, dizziness, and feeling imbalanced.
