Traumatic Brain Injuries
Are You Living with a Traumatic Brain Injury that’s Impacting Your Normal Life?
A traumatic brain injury requires immediate and ongoing care to ensure that the brain can regain optimal functionality.
Following a traumatic brain injury, whether as a result of a sport incident, a car accident, trip and fall, or other event, it is imperative that you undergo physical therapy. By participating in treatments with our Tampa physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists, we will ensure that all efforts are made for you to achieve the goals you have for your life.
Left untreated, traumatic brain injuries can result in physical unsteadiness, falls, severe shaking, nausea, dysarthria, difficulty swallowing, cognition, impaired vision, and more.
Fortunately, at Holistic PT, we are able to help patients living with the complications of a traumatic brain injury. Contact us today for more details!
How can physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, help me with a traumatic brain injury?
According to Choose PT, “therapist[s] will work with the patient, family, and other health care providers to develop goals and an individualized treatment plan to address the challenges and functional limitations associated with the injury.”
Our highly trained Tampa physical therapists will also prescribe specific gentle exercises, stretches, and modalities to help you increase strength and recover brain function. We will evaluate the severity of the brain injury, and match you with the best treatment strategies to reduce discomfort, alleviate painful symptoms, and improve brain functionality.
At Holistic PT, we can also encourage a return to feeling better by restoring strength to atrophied muscles and improving endurance. This can be achieved through a combination of muscle-training activities and aerobics.
It is important to work with specialists to gain guidance regarding the best activities for you needs, post-brain injury. Our Tampa therapists will customize a strength-building program, as well as guide you through aerobic moves to help regain endurance.
Additional strategies like targeted massage, specific stretches, and even eye motion training can help to reduce headaches, nausea, and other symptoms following a brain injury.
