Physical therapy for concussion and whiplash
It is difficult to know how to move forward after a concussion or whiplash. Our physical therapists will work with you to create a plan that provides peace of mind and helps you move forward step by step.
Starting early or long-term symptoms
Some people come to us a few weeks after their accident. Others have been living with symptoms for months or years.
In general, progress is easier if you address it early. If your symptoms persist after the first four weeks, seeking help is often wise.
At the same time, we see that people who have had symptoms for a long time can still take meaningful steps with a targeted, gradual approach. How long you have had symptoms is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that you have a plan for how to move forward.
Is this for you?
For many people, the goal is not just fewer symptoms. The goal is to function better in daily life. This program is right for you if:
You don't know what you are still allowed to do
You experience symptoms during physical or mental exertion
You don't know how much you can handle in a day
You are afraid of making your symptoms worse
Your work, studies, or family life are suffering
You get tired or overstimulated quickly
Why people choose Hemi
Progress is rarely a straight line. It is about being able to do more without paying for it in the days that follow. We build up from what is achievable today, not from what you used to be able to do.
Specialized in concussion and whiplash
Our physical therapists work specifically with people who have persistent symptoms following a concussion or whiplash. We understand the challenges that arise when symptoms impact your work, your studies, and your daily life.
More than just exercises
Rehabilitation is rarely just about exercises. It is about understanding the root of your symptoms, finding the right balance between exertion and recovery, and gradually building up your resilience.
Focused on your daily life
The goal isn't necessarily to be able to train more. The goal is to be able to live more. That is why we focus on the activities and roles that mean the most to you.
Online or in the clinic
Most programs are conducted via video. You can also come to our clinic in Amsterdam by appointment.
What the treatment can include
After a concussion or whiplash, it is tempting to wait for the symptoms to go away on their own.
For most people, it works better to build up activity systematically, step by step. The goal is not to push through your symptoms. The goal is to find the right level so that your capacity increases and your day becomes more manageable.

What the research shows
Research indicates that active rehabilitation is more effective than long-term rest alone.
Gradually increasing activity, fitness-focused exercise, addressing neck issues, and a step-by-step return to daily life are particularly recommended for persistent symptoms following a concussion.
We translate that knowledge into a plan based on your specific situation and goals.
