My journey through Dundas Physio & Rehab started 11 months ago and what a journey it has been!
I was referred to the clinic after a fall that resulted in a concussion and post-concussion syndrome. My symptoms were severe headache, sensitivity to light and sound, visual and balance disturbances, affected memory and sleep, pain, irritation, depression. The first few months were not an easy journey & the improvement was also non-linear which was discouraging. At times it was difficult to remain positive. With perseverance, a few more months and the continued support of my team, Avi, Ash, & Ron who always welcomed me with smiles, empathy, encouragement, & more exercises, I made it to full recovery! Avi taught me the most important lesson in concussion rehab: respect your brain! I still do! In case you’re thinking “ there are exercises for concussion therapy???” Yes there are! Some of the vestibular-ocular rehab exercises that help with balance and visual disturbances seemed so unnatural that I was not always a believer. As my team and I worked me to what I like to call “my former glory”, I was able to finally undergo my carpal tunnel surgery, which had been put on hold for months. Post surgery, when I needed hand therapy on my dominant hand, I knew exactly where to go! I have to say that hand therapy after concussion therapy is like a trip to the spa...yet again, Avi, Ash, & Ron, and their expertise led me to the finish line... I’ve resumed all my family and work responsibilities and my hobbies, all of which require a sharp brain, visual acuity, balance, energy, and manual dexterity . Thank you, Avi, Ash, & Ron! You should be proud of the wonderful work you do! Thank you!
