Neuro-cognitive / Concussion Management
Helping athletes and individuals recover safely and effectively from concussions.
What is a Sports-Related Concussion?
A sports-related concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by a direct or indirect blow to the head, face, neck, or elsewhere on the body that results in brain movement. This injury can lead to a variety of symptoms, including headaches, dizziness, nausea, confusion, and more. It’s crucial that concussions are managed correctly to avoid long-term consequences.

- Visual rehabilitation (for vision-related symptoms)
Return-to-Play Protocols
One of the most important aspects of managing sports-related concussions is ensuring that athletes do not return to play too soon. At MHP Therapy, we follow strict return-to-play guidelines, ensuring that athletes only return to their sport when it’s medically safe. We prioritize long-term health and safety, reducing the risk of further injury.

When Should You Seek Concussion Treatment?
If you or your child experiences a blow to the head during a game, practice, or workout, it’s important to monitor for concussion symptoms. Some key signs to watch for include:
- Headaches or “pressure” in the head
- Nausea or vomiting
- Balance problems or dizziness
- Sensitivity to light or noise
- Blurred or double vision
- Difficulty concentrating or remembering
- Feeling sluggish, foggy, or confused
These symptoms can appear immediately or develop hours after the incident. If any of these signs appear, it’s crucial to seek professional concussion management.
Why Timely Concussion Treatment Matters
Untreated concussions can lead to long-term health issues such as post-concussion syndrome, where symptoms persist for weeks or months after the injury. In severe cases, repeat concussions can cause permanent brain damage. Early intervention at MHP Therapy can help speed recovery, reduce symptoms, and ensure a safe return to sports.
