Concussion Treatment in Park City, Utah
If you are experiencing persistent symptoms after a concussion, you are not alone. Many people continue to struggle with headaches, dizziness, fatigue, or exercise intolerance long after the initial injury. At Happy Brain Physical Therapy, we provide concussion treatment in Park City, Utah using evidence-based physical therapy to help patients recover from post-concussion symptoms and post-concussion syndrome.
We treat individuals experiencing headaches, migraines, dizziness, vertigo, neck pain, visual strain, and difficulty returning to exercise after concussion. Our goal is to identify the underlying systems contributing to your symptoms and create a personalized treatment plan to help you gradually return to normal activity.
Symptoms We Treat After Concussion
Concussions can affect several systems in the body. Patients often seek care when symptoms persist beyond the initial injury.
Common symptoms we treat include:
• Headaches or migraines after concussion
• Dizziness or vertigo after concussion
• Balance problems
• Neck pain and cervical dysfunction
• Exercise intolerance
• Visual strain or difficulty focusing
• Fatigue and difficulty tolerating busy environments
These symptoms are often caused by a combination of vestibular dysfunction, cervical spine injury, and autonomic nervous system changes, which can all be addressed with targeted rehabilitation.
Physical Therapy for Post-Concussion Symptoms
Physical therapy plays an important role in helping the brain and body recover after concussion. Treatment focuses on restoring normal function in the systems that commonly contribute to persistent symptoms.
Your treatment plan may include:
• Vestibular therapy for dizziness and vertigo
• Cervical spine treatment for neck pain and headaches
• Gradual exercise progression to improve exercise tolerance
• Balance and coordination training
• Vision and gaze stabilization exercises
This approach helps patients safely rebuild tolerance to daily activities and physical exertion.
Vestibular Therapy for Dizziness and Vertigo
Many concussion patients experience dizziness, vertigo, or balance problems due to vestibular dysfunction.
Vestibular rehabilitation may include:
• gaze stabilization exercises
• balance training
• habituation exercises
• treatment for BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo)
Targeted vestibular therapy can help reduce dizziness and improve stability during movement.
Treatment for Headaches and Neck Pain After Concussion
The cervical spine often contributes to persistent concussion symptoms. Neck injuries can cause:
• headaches
• migraines
• dizziness
• sensitivity to movement
Treatment may include manual therapy, mobility exercises, and strengthening to restore normal neck function and reduce symptom triggers.
Exercise Therapy for Post-Concussion Syndrome
Many people develop exercise intolerance after concussion, where physical activity worsens symptoms.
Carefully guided exercise can help regulate the autonomic nervous system and gradually improve tolerance to activity. Programs may include:
• sub-symptom aerobic exercise
• graded return-to-activity programs
• interval training to support nervous system regulation
This process helps patients safely rebuild endurance without worsening symptoms.
Who We Help
We work with individuals experiencing:
• recent concussion
• post-concussion syndrome
• persistent dizziness after head injury
• headaches or migraines after concussion

Patients often come to us when symptoms have lasted weeks or months after the initial injury.

Concussion Treatment FAQs
-
Yes. Happy Brain Physical Therapy provides specialized concussion treatment in Park City, Utah for symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, vertigo, brain fog, and post-concussion syndrome.
-
A concussion occurs when the brain experiences a sudden acceleration or deceleration inside the skull. This can happen from a direct hit to the head, a fall, a sports injury, or even a strong impact to the body that causes the brain to move rapidly.
Common signs of a concussion include headaches, dizziness, nausea, balance problems, sensitivity to light or noise, difficulty concentrating, and feeling mentally “foggy.” Symptoms may appear immediately or develop hours to days after an injury.
If you are experiencing symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, or difficulty thinking after a fall, sports injury, or accident, it is important to be evaluated by a healthcare professional experienced in concussion care.
Seek emergency medical attention if you experience severe headache, repeated vomiting, seizures, loss of consciousness longer than one minute, worsening confusion, or weakness in the arms or legs.
-
Concussion symptoms vary from person to person and can affect multiple systems in the body.
Common symptoms include:
• Headaches or pressure in the head
• Dizziness or balance problems
• Vertigo or spinning sensations
• Blurred or double vision
• Light or noise sensitivity
• Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
• Fatigue or low energy
• Neck pain or stiffness
• Irritability, anxiety, or mood changesThese symptoms occur because a concussion disrupts how different areas of the brain communicate with each other. A thorough evaluation helps determine which systems are affected so treatment can target the underlying cause of symptoms.
-
Dizziness is one of the most common symptoms after a concussion. It can occur when the injury affects the vestibular system (the inner ear balance system), vision, the neck, or how the brain processes movement and spatial awareness.
People may experience dizziness as:
• Lightheadedness
• A sense of imbalance
• Feeling like the room is spinning (vertigo)
• Motion sensitivity when moving the head or walkingBecause several systems can contribute to dizziness, treatment begins with identifying the underlying cause. Concussion rehabilitation may include vestibular therapy, cervical treatment for the neck, vision exercises, and gradual return-to-activity exercise programs to help restore normal balance and movement.
-
-
Recovery time varies depending on the individual and the systems affected by the injury. Many people recover within a few weeks, while others experience symptoms for months. Targeted rehabilitation that addresses the underlying systems contributing to symptoms can often help people recover more efficiently.
-
Post-concussion syndrome refers to symptoms that persist beyond the expected recovery period after a concussion. These symptoms may include headaches, dizziness, brain fog, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, light sensitivity, and exercise intolerance.
Persistent symptoms often occur when certain systems—such as the vestibular system, vision, neck, or autonomic nervous system—have not fully recovered. A targeted rehabilitation approach can help address these contributing factors.
-
You should seek evaluation if concussion symptoms persist for more than a few days or interfere with your ability to work, exercise, read, or tolerate normal daily activities. Early evaluation can help identify the systems contributing to symptoms and guide appropriate treatment.
-
Yes. Physical therapy is one of the most effective treatments for persistent concussion symptoms. Treatment may include vestibular therapy for dizziness, cervical therapy for headaches and neck pain, vision exercises, and progressive aerobic exercise to improve nervous system regulation.

My son has had multiple concussions which lead him to having issues with balance, vision, as well as having constant headaches, and panic attacks. After a few PT sessions with Annie his anxiety and headaches have subsided. He now has had approximately 8-10 sessions now and his balance and vision is now better as well. Annie is friendly and very dedicated to helping her clients. I highly recommend her to anyone who has had a TBI.

Annie was able to see me with short notice for fast onset of issues. She was very thorough to make sure she was diagnosing all possible issues. She took her time and was patient, not judgmental about what I was or wasn't doing for my own treatment. She used a variety of methods to help me have relief. I felt tremendously better immediately and Annie also provided super helpful home treatment ideas to keep me progressing. She was quick to follow up with me the next day to see how I was doing. Annie is an athlete who really knows what symptoms come from what exercises and she knows how to effectively address them.
