Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post-Concussive Treatment
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Treatment
NeuroLogic Physiotherapy was founded on the treatment of adult and pediatric brain injuries. Physiotherapy treatment following a brain injury is focused on the client’s individual needs and symptoms. As clients transition from hospital/rehab care back into the community, we strive to help our clients identify and achieve their long term functional goals. Our physiotherapists are trained to find and treat specific problems such as weakness, poor balance or decreased co-ordination and how it affects mobility and function.
Concussion and Minor Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) Treatment

Our physiotherapists with concussion training provide a great deal of education and direction regarding guidance in progressive return to activity (whether it be sport or recreational) and symptom management. Gentle, hands-on soft tissue techniques are used to promote healing of the brain. Our therapists work to calm the body’s central nervous system, as this often becomes greatly stressed and hypersensitive when the brain is attempting to heal following a concussion or mTBI.
