Vestibular Rehabilitation

Vestibular rehabilitation is an exercise-based therapy for treating dizziness, vertigo and balance problems primarily caused by disorders of the inner ear. Some examples of diagnoses that may improve with vestibular physiotherapy are BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, commonly referred to as “crystals in the ears”), vestibular neuritis, and vestibular migraine.

Are you feeling dizzy, off-balance or experiencing spinning sensations when you look up or roll over in bed? Have you been diagnosed with a vestibular problem and want to start taking control? Come and see one of our trained professionals today.

Concussion Rehabilitation

Concussion is a traumatic brain injury causing temporary neurological signs and symptoms such as loss of consciousness, amnesia, confusion and poor balance. Concussion can be  caused by a direct blow to the head, or during a quick acceleration/deceleration such as during a whiplash. Proper management within the first hours and days following a concussion is essential to encouraging quick and full recovery.

Do you think you have a concussion and aren’t sure what to do? Have you been told to sit in a dark room until you feel better, but its been 3 days and nothing has changed? Come and see one of the expert team members at Physiothérapie Avantex for proper guidance through your recovery.

Post-concussion Syndrome

Post-concussion Syndrome happens when a person who has had a concussion is experiencing symptoms longer than usual. While most adults with concussion will feel back to normal within about 2 weeks, and children within 4 weeks, for some, symptoms such as headache, dizziness, visual complaints and neck pain can persist several weeks after injury and beyond. Team members at Physiothérapie Avantex are experts in concussion care. Through a careful physical evaluation and analysis of your symptoms, we will be able to identify the probable source of your symptoms and propose a plan to help you get back to normal. We work with a select network of complementary professionals to ensure that any problems beyond the scope of physiotherapy treatment are addressed in a timely manner.

Have you had a concussion and are still having symptoms after 2-3 weeks? Have you been given the old advice to wait it out, or sit in the dark until you start to feel better? Are you looking for a second opinion, and truly evidence-based care? There is always something that we can do to improve post-concussion symptoms, and the physiotherapists at Physiothérapie Avantex can be your guides.

Neurological Rehabilitation

Neurological rehabilitation aims to help people with various traumas, disorders and diseases affecting the brain and nervous system such as stroke, brain tumors, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s disease, degenerative neuromuscular disorders, spinal cord injury and more.

The main goals of neurological physiotherapy are to help regain strength, coordination, function and autonomy in order to help those affected by neurological disorders be as independant, strong and mobile as possible.

Whether you need physio to maximize walking capacity after a stroke, reduce the risk of falls and improve gait in Parkinson’s disease, or to regain strength and function after a brain bleed or auto-immune disease, our team will be there for you.
