Most people can recover completely from concussions and Viverant Physical Therapists have extensive experience in concussion rehabilitation. Our comprehensive approach to treatment starts with assessing and identifying your symptoms and developing a personalized plan of care based on your condition and goals. Our approach to concussion rehabilitation emphasizes exertion therapy, a guided progression of aerobic exercise based on key sport-or activity-specific movements to challenge and restore the systems and processes you need to accomplish your goals, while monitoring your physical and symptom response.
