There are many potential causes of pelvic floor disorders like childbirth, menopause, hormonal changes and muscle imbalances etc. Although some of these causes are a normal part of life, pelvic floor conditions and their associated symptoms should not be accepted as your new normal.

* Patient education
* Stretching and strengthening
* Bladder/pelvic floor training
* Lifestyle and behavioral changes

Vestibular rehabilitation is an exercise program designed for you to help your body compensate for vestibular problems. This approach can be used for a number of vestibular disorders like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and decreased vestibular function due to neuritis or labyrinthitis. A physiotherapist will perform an assessment and determine the exercises that will benefit you the most. It is important to know that these re-training exercises may make you feel worse at the beginning, but it is important to persevere as most often balance begins to improve and symptoms decrease or disappear.

Symptoms of a Vestibular Disorder:
-Vertigo or dizziness
-Nausea
-Visual or Hearing issues
-Impaired Balance
-Difficulties concentrating or fatigue

A concussion is a complex injury to the brain that occurs due to trauma. Trauma may be a blow to the head, but is not necessary. Symptoms come in a variety of ways; physical, cognitive and behavioral. You may only have a few of these and they can be from any category.

Physiotherapy can help you treat and manage your concussion symptoms while your brain heals. There is no medication or specific therapy that can cure concussion. Lots of new research is being done on concussion rehabilitation. Physiotherapy for concussion may include rehabilitation involving vestibular, visual and orthopedic techniques. Treatment involves education, exercises, balance retraining and potentially hands on treatment of the neck.

If you have neck pain or stiffness from your injury, evidence shows it is best to seek treatment as soon as possible. If you find you are struggling with return to play protocol we can provide education to help. If you are still feeling abnormal after 3- 4 weeks post-concussion please book a concussion assessment with a physiotherapist.
