Concussion: What to do in the first hours and days
You have hit your head. Perhaps you already know it is a concussion. Perhaps you are in doubt. Regardless, the first hours and days are crucial.
Specialized treatment for concussions and long-term symptoms
Most people recover quickly from a concussion. Are you not one of them? At Hemi, you will meet an interdisciplinary team of neurologists, physiotherapists, and pain management specialists who will assess your situation and create an evidence-based plan tailored to you.
You don't have to explain yourself from scratch
Many people with persistent post-concussion symptoms find themselves being referred between different practitioners without a cohesive plan. This can make it difficult to know what the next step should be.
At Hemi, we work exclusively with concussions, migraines, and headaches. This means that from your very first consultation, you will meet specialists who have an in-depth understanding of these conditions and who grasp the connection between the physical, cognitive, and mental strain of living with long-term challenges.
At Hemi, neurologists, physiotherapists, and nurses are brought together in one coordinated program centered around you. When multiple disciplines work closely together, it becomes easier to create a plan that takes your entire situation into account.
We ensure that your specialist knows your history before you meet, so you don't have to start over every time.

Evidence-based treatment
Treating the long-term effects of a concussion is rarely about a single solution. That is why we combine different methods and tailor them to your situation, symptoms, and goals. Our approach is based on Danish clinical guidelines for concussions, including recommendations for graded exercise, psychological treatment, and a multidisciplinary, coordinated effort.
Asger Steen
Physiotherapist & Pain therapist
"We help you gradually resume the activities that are important to you. Together, we find a level that matches where you are right now and slowly build up activity and exposure to things like screens, light, sound, and movement. In this way, we work to increase your tolerance without overloading you unnecessarily."
Rasmus Greve
Physiotherapist & Pain therapist
"You will learn to understand how your thoughts and behavior can influence your recovery and gain concrete strategies for managing symptoms and worries in your daily life. We use tools inspired by metacognitive therapy and PRT, among others."
Asger Steen
Physiotherapist & Pain therapist
"Fatigue and fluctuating symptoms can make it difficult to manage everyday life. We work with energy management, looking at factors like sleep, breaks, and your daily rhythm. At the same time, we prevent unhelpful coping strategies with small, sustainable steps, so you don't overdo it on the good days and pay for it on the bad ones."
Rasmus Greve
Physiotherapist & Pain therapist
"If your concussion is affecting your work or studies, we will help you find a realistic path back. Together, we will create a plan where your workload is increased gradually and adjusted along the way, so you can work toward returning at a pace that suits you."
Stine Klingenberg
Social Consultant
"Along the way, we measure your progress using validated questionnaires. This allows us to see together what is working and where there is still room for improvement, based on data rather than just feelings. It also makes it easier for you to see the progress that can be difficult to notice from day to day."
Signe Munksgaard
Neurologist
"If your symptoms require it, we can supplement your treatment plan with a neurological assessment. We can help clarify issues such as persistent headaches, migraines, or sleep problems and evaluate whether medication or other treatments might make a difference. Because we work closely with your physiotherapists and pain specialists, you get everything gathered in one place and in one plan."
"Our first conversation focuses on you, not just your symptoms. I take the time to understand your background, what you have tried, and what is currently affecting your daily life. Only through this broad understanding can we determine what makes the most sense for you to work on. When you leave our session, my goal is for you to have clarity about your situation and a concrete next step, should you wish to take one."

Kind words from our clients
Patient experiences speak louder than words – here they share their stories.
"It was a huge help that I could get an appointment within the same week and didn't need a referral. All in all, my experience with Hemi was absolutely fantastic, and my meeting with the specialist was both very personal and professional."
Julie, 27 years old
“I was in safe hands with specialists who truly understood my situation. The digital solution meant that help was always within reach.”
Mette, 40 years old
“Receiving treatment online has worked surprisingly well. It has been absolutely optimal to be able to sit at home and thereby avoid both waiting time and driving back and forth. Especially on those days when my head feels heavy.”
Tina, 44 years old
"In just a few months, my quality of life has improved significantly. Through my conversations with the headache nurse, I have become much more aware of my own thought patterns and the fear I have of the next migraine attack."
Lea, 37 years old
