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.

Item descriptionConcussions are a functional injury and cannot be seen on imaging. With a concussion your neurons get stretched and sometimes break causing a neurometabolic cascade that disrupts communication between the neurons and the brain. This damage causes the different areas of the brain to not communicate effectively which leads to functional impairments. A concussion is best diagnosed using functional tests and then treated based on each individual’s impairments.
