Concussion Care

The Therapy Network’s Concussion Program

You’ve Been Diagnosed with a Concussion—Now What?

 

A concussion can feel overwhelming. Headaches, dizziness, or brain fog can make daily life challenging. The good news: you don’t have to navigate recovery alone.

If you haven’t already, seek immediate medical attention from your physician or an emergency center. Once you’ve been diagnosed, The Therapy Network is here to help you safely regain strength, balance, and confidence while recovering from your concussion.

 

What to Expect at Your First Visit?

At your first visit, a TTN concussion specialist will review your medical history and discuss how the injury occurred—whether from a fall, sports accident, motor vehicle collision, or workplace incident.

Your evaluation may include:

  • Balance and coordination assessments
    • Vestibular and vision screening
      • Neck mobility and strength testing
        • Evaluation of headaches, dizziness, or vertigo
          • Discussion of your activity goals and current symptoms
          • This comprehensive assessment helps your therapist design a personalized recovery plan.

Physical Therapy Supports Concussion Recovery

Our concussion rehabilitation program focuses on helping you:

    • Restore strength and endurance
    • Improve balance and coordination
      • Reduce dizziness and headaches
      • Regain confidence in movement
      • Return safely to normal activities
      Your therapist will create a step-by-step plan with exercises and home activities designed to promote healing and prevent symptom recurrence. Education is also a key part of your care, and our team ensures you understand what to expect throughout the recovery process.

When Rest isn’t Enough

While many patients improve with rest, others experience ongoing symptoms. Our concussion specialists are trained to recognize when recovery is off track and can collaborate with other healthcare providers to ensure you receive the right level of care.

Think of your TTN therapist as your partner in recovery—providing expertise, encouragement, and a clear roadmap back to health.
