What is a concussion?
A brain injury that deserves proper care.
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury caused by a blow to the head or body that makes the brain move inside the skull. You do not need to lose consciousness to have one.
Most people recover within a few weeks. When symptoms linger, they are often linked to the neck, the balance (vestibular) system, vision or exercise tolerance, all of which can be assessed and treated.
Common symptoms
Headache, dizziness, fogginess, fatigue, sensitivity to light or noise, nausea, poor sleep and irritability.
Common causes
Sports collisions, falls, motor vehicle accidents and workplace injuries.
Get urgent care if
Symptoms worsen, you have repeated vomiting, severe headache, confusion, seizures or weakness.
How we help
Treatment matched to your symptoms.
- Baseline and post-injury assessment
- Neck assessment and treatment for headaches and dizziness
- Vestibular and eye-movement rehabilitation
- Graded aerobic exercise to restore tolerance
- Return-to-learn, return-to-work and return-to-sport plans
- Counselling support for mood, stress and sleep
What to expect
Rest briefly, then move forward.
Current guidance supports a short period of relative rest followed by a gradual return to light activity, rather than staying in a dark room for weeks.
We guide each stage and progress you when your symptoms allow, coordinating with your physician for medical clearance to return to contact sport.
Common questions
Good to know.
When should I see a physio after a concussion?
Within the first week or two is ideal, especially if symptoms are not improving or you have neck pain or dizziness.
Can I return to sport?
Yes, through a step-by-step return-to-sport progression and medical clearance before full contact.
Is concussion care covered after a car accident?
Often yes. We direct bill auto insurers for approved treatment.
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No. You can book directly with our physiotherapist. Some extended health plans ask for a referral before they reimburse, so it is worth checking your policy.
