Post-Concussion
Have you recently suffered a concussion? Because concussions are classified as mild traumatic brain injuries, many people will treat their concussion symptoms with pain medication and not worry about the concussion itself. But at The Sports Clinic in Oakville and Carlisle, ON, we take a functional approach to health, meaning we want to treat the cause, not the symptoms.
What are the symptoms of a concussion?
A concussion is a traumatic brain injury induced by biomechanical forces that may cause a range of physical and cognitive symptoms. It may be caused by either a direct blow to the head, face, neck or elsewhere on the body with an impulsive force transmitted to the head.
- Chronic headaches or migraines
- Dizziness or vertigo
- Fatigue
- Trouble concentrating
- Mood changes, including depression
53% of youth concussions happen in organized sport, 16% happen at school. Regardless of where you got your concussion, it’s important to seek treatment for your symptoms before they worsen.

We are a part of a global concussion care network – Complete Concussion Management (CCMI).

How can The Sports Clinic in Oakville and Carlisle, ON help you heal?
We offer several treatment options that can help alleviate the after-effects of a concussion. Our functional Physiotherapy approach will help treat your entire system rather than simply targeting the affected area.
Movement is an integral part of concussion therapy. Aerobic exercise and strength training are both effective in providing relief. Our therapists will help you develop a safe, effective exercise program based on your fitness levels and the severity of your injury.
Manual therapy is also key to concussion relief. Massage therapy can release the tension causing you pain and help with stress reduction, and joint mobilizations, particularly in the spine, can help with headaches or neck pain.
