Great to hear feedback from everyone! It seems that this therapy helped the majority of people here. It sounds like the time frames for recovery do vary with this therapy.
Poetrymom - That's great you had results in only 4 sessions!
Su Seb - So glad to hear you are 90% better! Did you also have brain fog as one of your symptoms along with your dizziness?
DFayesMom - I will keep that in mind if the vestibular therapy does not work for me. I'm glad to hear you found someone who does help you!
MiaVita2012 - How would you rate your improvement since January? Excellent, great, okay, not good, etc.?
Thank you everyone else for the encouragement! I will keep you all posted on how it goes.

I was in a snowboarding accident on January 19, 2013. I caught an edge on my snowboard while carving down the mountain without a helmet. I smacked the back of my head hard on the ground. I was not knocked out and it took about a week for symptoms to come into full effect.
Since my accident I have been in a cycle of feeling better and then relapsing. It has happened many times. Although I think the overall trend is slowly traveling up. My symptoms included headaches, anxiety, sensitivity to light and noise, dizziness, fatigue, confusion, trouble concentrating, brain fog, loss of social interest, irritability, and mood swings.
Many symptoms have since resolved and I am left with slight dizziness, sensitivity to large crowds and busy environments, small amounts of anxiety, and brain fog off and on.
I am currently under the care of a neuropsychologist at the UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Clinic. I am also undergoing balance/vestibular physical therapy to help with my remaining symptoms.
