Concussions and Kinesiology
It is a common belief that when recovering from a concussion, an individual should be on bed rest for extended periods until the concussion symptoms have completely subsided. However, that is rarely ever the case. Physical therapy plays a vital role in the recovery of a concussion. By re-introducing an individual to light activities, this may assist in speeding up the recovery process and help you return to participating in your activities.

The Role of Kinesiology in the Rehabilitation of Car Accident Victims
Car accidents can have devastating physical and psychological effects on individuals involved. While modern vehicles and safety measures have reduced the severity of many accidents, injuries remain a common consequence. Recovering from a car accident can be a long and challenging journey, requiring various forms of rehabilitation and support. Kinesiology, the scientific study of human movement, plays a pivotal role in aiding individuals on their path to recovery. Kinesiology can help people recover from a car accident by addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of rehabilitation.
