Vision & Vestibular Therapy after Traumatic Brain Injury

Recovery after brain injury isn’t just physical — it’s sensory. Reconnecting vision and balance is the foundation for rebuilding the brain. What to expect: Integration of Systems • The eyes, inner ears, and body work together to maintain balance, orientation, and focus. • TBI disrupts this network, causing dizziness, blurred vision, imbalance, and motion sensitivity. • Restoring this integration is key to regaining control and confidence in movement. Assessment & Retraining • Brain-based assessment identifies deficits in eye tracking, gaze stability, and balance. • Vision therapy retrains eye movements and focus. • Vestibular rehabilitation restores balance and motion tolerance. • Combined, they re-sync the sensory systems through neuroplasticity. Functional Recovery • Improved coordination, posture, and attention. • Reduced headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. • Enhanced performance in daily life, work, and sport. About MQ Huang Fu: Clinical Focus MQ is a physiotherapist with extensive experience treating individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other complex neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. She uses a brain-based approach to assess and treat dysfunctions, emphasizing how the nervous system, vision, and vestibular systems influence pain, balance, posture, and movement. She began her physiotherapy career in a rehabilitation centre, working within a multidisciplinary team to support patients with acute and chronic neurological injuries. Since joining the Neurocore Physiotherapy and Pilates Centre in 2013, MQ has expanded her expertise to include clients recovering from TBI, concussion, stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, amputation, and chronic pain. Treatment Philosophy Through her advanced Z-Health and vestibular/concussion rehabilitation training, MQ integrates vision and vestibular drills, sensory re-education, and functional movement retraining to help patients restore optimal sensory input and motor control. Her goal is to promote neuroplasticity—helping the brain relearn efficient movement patterns for improved performance, balance, and daily function. Professional Involvement MQ also contributes to the next generation of physiotherapists as a Clinical Instructor for the University of Toronto, Queen’s University, and Western University, earning multiple recognition awards for excellence in clinical education. She is a member in good standing with the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario and is fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese.
