Concussion Program In Council Bluffs
An estimated 3 million people, both young and old, will suffer a concussion from either sport participation or physical activity per year in the United States of America. 80% of those people will recover within 3 weeks. However, that means 20% will be left with residual symptoms like headaches, sensitivity to light, or forgetfulness. These are things that physical therapy can help with!
The Concussion Program at Flex Physical Therapy is designed for athletes who have suffered a concussion. This program will help to identify the type of concussion that the patient is experiencing and then effectively design a rehabilitation program specifically for that patient. Each concussion is different and changes based on the individual.
The program includes:
- A comprehensive evaluation by a physical therapist trained in treating concussions.
- A plan to address the specific needs of the patient based on the evaluation and classification of the concussion symptoms.
- Treatment may include balance, vestibular/eye movement exercises, and neck range of motion/strengthening.
- Guidance to help the patient safely return to their normal activities and symptoms improve.
The goal of The Concussion Program at Flex Physical Therapy is to help the patient make a full return to their normal activities.
