At [Your Clinic Name], we focus on the whole picture — helping you recover from a concussion while managing any related neck pain or stiffness.

Why Neck Health Matters After a Concussion

The neck and head are connected not only physically but also in how they respond to injury. During a concussion, forces can strain the muscles, joints, and nerves in your neck, sometimes causing ongoing pain or limited movement long after the initial injury.

Ignoring neck issues after a concussion can slow your recovery and make symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or concentration problems worse.

Signs Your Neck May Be Involved

• Persistent neck pain or stiffness

• Headaches that worsen with neck movement

• Reduced range of motion in your neck

• Tingling or numbness in your arms or hands

If you experience these, it’s important to get a professional assessment.

How Physiotherapy Can Help

At Cure Space, our physiotherapists use targeted treatments to address neck-related symptoms following concussion, including:

• Manual therapy: Gentle hands-on techniques to ease muscle tension and improve joint mobility.

• Exercise therapy: Specific movements to restore neck strength and flexibility.

• Postural education: Teaching you how to maintain a neck-friendly posture during recovery and daily activities.

• Balance and vestibular training: For those with dizziness or balance issues linked to neck and concussion injuries.

Personalized Recovery Plans

Every concussion is unique, so your recovery plan will be tailored to your specific symptoms and lifestyle. We aim to support you safely as you gradually return to your usual activities.
