Expert Assessment of Concussion Symptoms by North West Physio & Massage Specialists
At North West Physio & Massage, we begin concussion treatment by conducting a comprehensive clinical assessment of your condition. Our licensed physiotherapists perform standardized concussion tests to gather diagnostic insights. Once we analyze the test results, we differentiate between the specific concussion symptoms affecting each patient.
This process allows us to identify key symptom domains—such as balance issues, visual disturbances, or cognitive impairments. We then develop a personalized treatment plan that targets those primary symptom areas for faster recovery. Our goal is to deliver outcome-driven concussion management physiotherapy that restores function and improves your overall well-being.

We:
