Adolescents
Recovering from a concussion can be a challenging process, especially for adolescents balancing school, activities, and social connections. Our post-concussion care focuses on Return to Learn and Return to Activity, ensuring that cognitive needs are met at every stage of recovery—whether acute or chronic. We provide individualized support to help adolescents manage symptoms, build strategies for cognitive efficiency, and gradually reintegrate into academics and daily life. By addressing attention, memory, executive functioning, and social-emotional well-being, we help youth reduce the impact of symptoms and regain confidence in previously enjoyed activities.
Adults
A concussion can disrupt daily life, making it difficult to manage work, responsibilities, and everyday tasks. Our post-concussion care for adults focuses on Return to Work and Functional Independence, providing strategies to navigate cognitive challenges such as memory difficulties, brain fog, and fatigue. Whether you are in the acute or chronic stage of recovery, we offer personalized support to help you regain focus, improve mental stamina, and develop practical strategies for reducing symptoms. Our goal is to empower you with the tools needed to confidently manage work demands, household responsibilities, and meaningful activities while promoting long-term recovery.
