Regaining Life After Concussion: A Patient’s Journey with SparqPT

Personalized Concussion Recovery in Castle Rock, CO

When recovering from an injury, finding the right care can make all the difference. At SparqPT, we specialize in concussion recovery and personalized, one-on-one physical therapy that helps patients not only heal but truly regain their lives. One of our recent patients, who had sustained her sixth concussion in a car accident, shares her journey through recovery with Dr. Kelsy Rayl, DPT, and the SparqPT team.

Overcoming Concussion Symptoms with Expert Care

She came to SparqPT struggling with a range of symptoms, including visual and vestibular challenges, emotional dysregulation, balance issues, brain fog, memory fatigue, and nausea. “Dr. Rayl was incredible,” she recalls. “She was patient, she was thorough, and she was able to help me label the very unfamiliar feelings—from stutters in visual tracking to lack of balance. That may sound insignificant, but when you feel like you’ve lost your grip on life and EVERYTHING is a trigger or a challenge, having someone who understands is a great start!”

Long-Lasting Results Through One-on-One Physical Therapy

Throughout her concussion recovery, she found that Dr. Rayl not only helped her regain balance and regulate her emotions but also improved her visual and vestibular response.

“While my process of healing and recovery was challenging for me, SparqPT helped me with all the milestones,” she says. “Dr. Rayl paced my recovery in such a way that milestones weren’t just a ‘good day’ but a lasting result.”

Even though she still experiences occasional setbacks—such as brain fog when overstimulated—she says,

“I have 95% of myself back, and after six concussions, I feel incredibly fortunate to have found SparqPT and Dr. Rayl.”

Why Choose SparqPT for Concussion Rehabilitation?

One of the key factors in her successful recovery was the individualized attention she received. “Our one-on-one sessions ensured that my symptoms and deficits were addressed—I couldn’t even explain what was happening or what my symptoms were exactly, yet Dr. Rayl was able to identify and pinpoint what we needed to work on.”

She also highlights how crucial it was to have a provider who truly understood the severity of concussion symptoms. “Concussions are no joke, and I felt like I was a little crazy because the symptoms shouldn't have been so severe, and I felt like I was making a big deal out of insignificant things—but they weren’t insignificant, they were major.”

The Best Physical Therapy in Castle Rock for Concussion Recovery

Ultimately, SparqPT helped her return to work, understand her condition, heal, and develop tools to manage flare-ups when they occur.

“I’ve told everyone I know who needs a PT to call Sparq first. Hands down the best recovery assistance I’ve had—and unfortunately, I’ve had a lot. Plus, I also work in healthcare, and I’m very selective. I’ve worked with PTs off and on throughout my life as a patient and a colleague. SparqPT should be the first call for anyone who needs PT.”

Her story is a testament to the power of expert, compassionate care. At SparqPT, we are dedicated to helping our patients not just recover but thrive.
