  1. Understanding Concussions: What You Need to Know A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) that occurs when a blow or jolt to the head disrupts normal brain function. While concussions are often considered mild, their effects can be complex and long-lasting if not managed correctly. Common causes include sports injuries, falls, car accidents, and workplace incidents. Symptoms can appear immediately or develop over several days. At Hillcrestphysio, our experts carefully assess each patient to understand the full scope of their condition. Common Symptoms of a Concussion Persistent headachesor pressure in the head Dizziness, balance problems, or lightheadedness Nausea or vomiting Blurry vision or sensitivity to light/noise Difficulty concentrating or memory issues Fatigue, irritability, or emotional changes Sleep disturbances Early diagnosis and professional management are crucial to preventing long-term complications such as post-concussion syndrome. www.hillcrestphysio.com

  2. Comprehensive Concussion Assessment at Hillcrest Physiotherapy At Hillcrest Physiotherapy Abbotsford, we use a structured and evidence-based approach to concussion assessment. Our team performs a series of physical, neurological, and cognitive tests to determine the extent of the injury and to design a customized recovery plan. Our Assessment Process Includes: Detailed Medical History Review – Understanding the mechanism of injury and prior concussion history. Neurological Examination – Testing reflexes, balance, coordination, and eye movement. Cognitive Testing – Assessing concentration, reaction time, and memory. Vestibular and Oculomotor Screening – Identifying issues with balance and eye coordination. Symptom Evaluation – Using validated tools like SCAT5 to quantify symptoms. This comprehensive evaluation ensures that no aspect of your recovery is overlooked. www.hillcrestphysio.com
