Concussion Rehabilitation
Michigan's 1st CARF Accredited Concussion Rehabilitation for Children and Adults!
When a concussion happens, expert care makes all the difference. At Origami Rehabilitation, we take a comprehensive and individualized approach to concussion recovery, helping athletes, students, and adults safely return to school, work, and play.
A concussion is a brain injury caused by a sudden movement to the head that disrupts normal brain function. A concussion may require specialized and comprehensive medical evaluation and treatment. Understanding and addressing the unique challenges of your injury is the key to a safe and successful rehabilitation experience. Even a mild concussion can result in longer-term effects if left undiagnosed or improperly treated.
As the first provider in Michigan to be CARF-accredited for Concussion Rehabilitation, Origami meets the highest standards of quality and safety in concussion rehabilitation. Our team of licensed specialists provides coordinated, one-on-one care tailored to each person’s unique symptoms and goals.

Our concussion rehabilitation may include:
- Physical therapy to address physical symptoms such as balance, coordination, and headaches
- Occupational therapy to address visual, sensory, and cognitive challenges

- Vision therapy to help with eye focusing (blurred or double vision) and visual processing
