A turning point for us was vestibular therapy. A key component was getting the heart rate elevated during the therapy. The therapist closely monitored heart rate and headache pain ever 5 to 15 minutes. If the headache spiked more than 2 points during the exercise (using the standard 1 to 10 pain scale), then it was time to take a break. If during the break, the headache dropped 1 or 2 points, it was then ok to continue. For this particular case, after the 4th session, the improvements in balance and stamina really started to show up.

The latest studies for children are supporting very light exercise, even if its just walking. Supplements, especially fish oil and MCT are crucial.

Hyperbaric does help and is expensive, probably $50 and up per session for a soft shell, more for a hard shell chamber.

I recommend the supplements and very moderate exercise closely paying attention to your pain level. Do not try to push through the pain.

You cannot willpower yourself through a head injury.
