Bryn Mawr Rehab Psychology
At Main Line Health, we provide psychological treatment services for improved adjustment and maximum recovery associated with a wide range of neurological, medical and psychological disorders.
Concussion Rehab
What is concussion rehabilitation?
The science of concussion is evolving as researchers, doctors and therapists come to greater understanding about concussion recovery stages and the process of returning to work, school and play.
At Bryn Mawr Rehab with outpatient locations just outside of Philadelphia, we apply the latest practices and knowledge when it comes to rehab for concussion. Whereas many rehab facilities perform just one test, our concussion treatment approach includes concussion baseline testing and a comprehensive evaluation based on multiple specialized concussion tests.
Bryn Mawr Rehab provides a full range of concussion treatments, post-concussion therapy, and services for people who have suffered this type of brain injury. We treat more than 1,000 concussion patients every year at our Bryn Mawr Rehab Neuro Centers in Malvern and Concordville, and provide concussion rehabilitation outpatient therapy at our King of Prussia and Wynnewood locations.
Concussion patients come to us with varying degrees of impairment based on the severity of their injury and achieve positive outcomes due to the creative and multidisciplinary approach we bring to every patient's care.

How you live tomorrow depends on where you rehab following a concussion today.

Concussion support groups
Adult post-concussion support group
This group is open to concussion therapy patients in the Neurological Rehabilitation Program. The group concentrates on enhancing concussion recovery through psychoeducation, symptom management and coping strategies. A clinical psychologist guides every meeting.
The post-concussion support group meets on the first Wednesday of the month from 12:00–1:00 pm in the Administration Building at Bryn Mawr Rehab in Malvern, First Floor, Conference Rooms 1-4. For information and to confirm meeting dates, call 484.596.5430 or email belitskyj@mlhs.org.
Family involvement in the concussion recovery process
During the recovery process, a patient's family members are actively engaged as important members of the team. Often they are charged with making decisions on behalf of the patient. We will also ask family to take note of concussion symptoms observed at visits with the patient. This further helps us to monitor patient progress and recovery.
Speech Therapy
Our multidisciplinary approach to inpatient and outpatient speech therapy rehab includes expert diagnosis and treatment of speech, language, cognitive and swallowing disorders led by master’s-level, licensed and certified speech pathologists.
Neurology
The neurology team at Main Line Health treats and manages conditions such as migraines, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and more.

Pain Management

Physical Therapy
Each inpatient and outpatient physical therapy rehab is individually designed and administered by a licensed physical therapist who consistently guides you from that first visit all the way through recovery.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy and sensory integration helps patients who’ve experienced a debilitative injury or illness return to activities of daily living (ADL), such as dressing, eating, writing, shopping, toileting and driving.
