Concussion Assessment in Kapiti Coast & Levin

Concussion management is an evolving area of physiotherapy, with more research and understanding about this condition produced on a continual basis. Concussion is thought to be the result of abrupt movement of the brain within the skull, usually as the result of a head contact or whiplash-type mechanism of injury. While it is reported that 80% of concussion symptoms settle within 7-14 days (at an average of 10 days), long-term concussion symptoms lasting more than four weeks, known as Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS), can have a major impact on your quality of life. Concussion injuries are often associated with neck injuries due to the mechanism, and neck pain can have a direct impact on concussion symptoms.
