Recovery takes time, but with the right approach, you can get there.
Rebound’s 3 Step Process To Your Recovery
STEP 1
Recover
This initial phase is all about healing and laying the groundwork for the subsequent stages. The focus is on reducing pain, controlling inflammation, and restoring basic range of motion. At this stage, it's crucial to understand the root cause of the injury, provide appropriate treatments, and set realistic expectations for the journey ahead. Proper nutrition, adequate sleep, and mindfulness practices might also be introduced to foster a holistic healing environment.
STEP 2
Rebuild
With the foundation of recovery established, this phase emphasizes regaining lost strength, improving flexibility, and enhancing balance. Personalized exercise programs are introduced, targeting weakened or imbalanced muscles. This stage acts as a bridge, gradually preparing the body for more dynamic activities. Rehabilitation exercises, resistance training, and biomechanics analysis may play a pivotal role during this phase.
STEP 3
Rebound
True to its name, this final phase is about bouncing back to peak performance. Athletes will now be introduced to sport-specific drills, advanced training techniques, and conditioning routines that closely mimic the demands of their respective sports. It's not just about returning to the previous level but striving to surpass it, ensuring they are better equipped, more resilient, and ready for the challenges ahead.
Move With Confidence Instead of Fear
When you can't trust your balance, every step feels uncertain. You might avoid stairs, hesitate in crowds, or feel anxious about going out alone.
Our vestibular rehabilitation retrains your balance system to work properly again. We use specific exercises that challenge your stability in controlled ways, helping your brain recalibrate how it processes balance information.
As your vestibular system improves, you'll feel steadier on your feet, more confident navigating different surfaces, and less worried about dizziness catching you off guard.
Simple activities like turning your head quickly or walking in busy environments become manageable again, giving you back the
independence and confidence you've been missing.
Get Back to Your Life Without Constant Setbacks
Concussion and vestibular issues can be confusing—some days you feel better, then suddenly symptoms return when you push too hard. Our approach provides the structure and guidance you need to recover without constant setbacks.
We carefully monitor your symptoms and progress, adjusting your treatment based on how your body responds. You'll understand which activities are safe to do and which ones to avoid temporarily, taking the guesswork out of your recovery.
We help you gradually expand what you can handle—whether that's screen time, physical activity, or cognitive demands—so you can return to work, sports, and normal life with confidence that you're doing it the right way.

Frequently Asked Questions About Concussion & Vestibular Treatment
How soon after a concussion should I start physical therapy?
Early intervention often leads to better outcomes. Once you've been evaluated by a physician and your symptoms have stabilized, physical therapy can begin. Some patients start within days, while others may wait a few weeks depending on symptom severity.
What makes vestibular physical therapy different from regular PT?
Vestibular therapy specifically targets your balance system, inner ear function, and how your brain processes sensory information. It requires specialized training and uses unique techniques like vestibular ocular reflex exercises, canalith repositioning maneuvers, and balance retraining protocols.
Will the exercises make my dizziness worse?
Some exercises may temporarily increase symptoms as they challenge your vestibular system, but this is often part of the healing process. We carefully monitor your response and adjust intensity to keep symptoms manageable while still promoting recovery.
How long does concussion recovery typically take?
Recovery timelines vary significantly based on injury severity and individual factors. Many people improve within several weeks to a few months, though some require longer treatment. We work at the pace your body needs for proper healing.
Can you help if my concussion happened months or years ago?
Yes. Many people develop post-concussion syndrome with symptoms that persist long after the initial injury. Our specialized treatment can still help address these lingering issues and improve your function even years later.
What should I expect during my first appointment?
We'll conduct a thorough evaluation including balance testing, eye movement assessment, symptom questionnaires, and functional tests. This helps us understand your specific issues and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Do you work with my doctor during treatment?
Absolutely. We believe in collaborative care and regularly communicate with your physician, neurologist, or other healthcare providers to ensure coordinated treatment that supports your overall recovery plan.
