Concussions and post-concussion symptoms can leave people feeling foggy, fatigued, overwhelmed and "not quite themselves." While medical care is essential for diagnosis and management, many people also look for safe, supportive therapies to help their body regulate, restore and rebalance during recovery. At Recovery Haus Innaloo, we offer a range of gentle, restorative modalities that may support circulation, oxygenation, nervous system regulation and overall wellbeing - all alongside a healthcare provider's guidance.
This article breaks down what concussion is, how the body naturally recovers, and the supportive therapies many clients in Perth are using to feel clearer, calmer and more energised.
What Is a Concussion?
A concussion is a type of mild traumatic brain injury caused by a blow, jolt or impact that disrupts normal brain function. Symptoms can vary widely and may include headaches, fatigue, brain fog, light sensitivity, dizziness, mood changes and difficulty concentrating.
Recovery looks different for everyone, and it's important to follow the advice of a qualified healthcare professional. Alongside that care, many people seek non-invasive, restorative therapies to help their body regulate and support their natural healing processes.
Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHBOT): Supporting Oxygenation and Clarity
mHBOT involves relaxing inside a gently pressurised chamber while breathing concentrated oxygen. The increased pressure helps more oxygen dissolve into the bloodstream and tissues - including areas that may benefit from improved oxygen delivery.
Clients recovering from concussion often report:
- Feeling clearer and more focused
- Reduced fatigue
- Better energy throughout the day
- A calmer, more regulated nervous system
Because oxygen is essential for cellular energy (ATP), mHBOT may support the body's natural repair processes and help people feel more balanced during recovery.
Many clients pair mHBOT with LED Light Therapy, Dry Float or Hydrogen Inhalation for a full-system recovery stack.
ARRC ATP LED Light Bed: Supporting Cellular Energy and Nervous System Balance
With a specific 'Brain' setting, the ARRC LED uses full-body red, green and near-infrared light to support mitochondrial function - the part of the cell responsible for energy production.
Clients recovering from concussion often describe:
- Feeling more energised
- Reduced brain fog
- Improved mood and clarity
- A sense of calm after sessions
The gentle warmth and full-body exposure make it a favourite for people wanting a restorative, non-stimulating therapy.
Zerobody Dry Float: Deep Rest for the Brain and Nervous System
Zerobody Dry Float creates a weightless, zero-gravity experience without getting wet. This environment helps the body shift into a deeply relaxed state - ideal for people experiencing sensory overload, stress or fatigue after concussion.
Clients often report:
- Deep mental relaxation
- Reduced tension
- Better sleep
- A calmer, more regulated nervous system
It's one of the most restorative tools for people needing a genuine break from stimulation.
Hydrogen Inhalation: Supporting Cellular Balance and Oxidative Stress Regulation
Hydrogen inhalation involves breathing purified molecular hydrogen gas through a nasal cannula while relaxing in a calm environment. Hydrogen is being explored for its potential role in supporting the body's natural antioxidant and cellular-balancing processes.
Clients recovering from concussion often describe:
- Feeling clearer and more mentally awake
- Reduced heaviness or fatigue
- A calmer nervous system
- Improved post-session relaxation
Because hydrogen is small enough to diffuse rapidly throughout the body, many clients find it a gentle, supportive addition to their recovery routine.
Hydrogen pairs well with mHBOT, Dry Float and LED Light Therapy for a layered, restorative session.
How These Modalities Work Together
Each therapy supports a different part of the body's natural recovery process. Many clients use a combination depending on their symptoms, energy levels and what feels best for their body.
| Modality | Primary Support Area |
|---|---|
| mHBOT | Oxygenation and mental clarity |
| ARRC LED Bed | Cellular energy and brain fog |
| Dry Float | Nervous system regulation and deep rest |
| Hydrogen Inhalation | Oxidative balance and mental clarity |
