Your Concussion Management Team with Trained Calgary Physiotherapists

There is increasing research about the short and long-term effects of concussions and the importance of getting quick and effective concussion management care after you’ve experienced one or more concussion events. Sometimes concussions are a result of a major event (such as a large fall during skiing or a car accident). In other cases, it is the result of smaller, repetitive hits to the head (such as football tackles). Concussions can be especially risky in children and young adults because their brains are still in development. The University of Calgary is currently conducting a major research project on sports-related concussions in youth with the hopes of shedding light on the exact effects.

Often it’s easy to pinpoint the reason for the concussion, a particular fall or blow to the head, but sometimes a concussion was overlooked because there was no major event or symptoms may be delayed. Sometimes the most benign of events can lead to a concussion because of the area that was hit or the age or susceptibility of the person.
