Regaining your balance after sustaining a concussion can be a huge challenge, both in the short and long term. Dr. Nidhi Shah is a Physical Therapist with over eleven years of clinical and leadership experience. Today, we speak with her about how physical therapy supports patients in their recovery from PCS.

Dr. Shah gives us some tips on improving balance from home and urges us to seek professional support in recovery. Finally, we explore the expected recovery period for restoring balance with PCS and Dr. Shah tells us why concussion is oftentimes far worse on teenage girls than boys.
