Specialized Care to Support Safe and Complete Recovery
Post-Concussion Rehabilitation is a structured, evidence-based program designed to help individuals recover safely after a concussion. Rehabilitation should begin as soon as possible to reduce symptoms, prevent prolonged recovery, and support a safe return to daily activities, work, school, and sports.
At our clinic, post-concussion rehabilitation is provided by a certified physiotherapist who is trained to assess concussion symptoms and develop a personalized rehabilitation program tailored to each individual’s needs.
Understanding Concussion & Why Rehabilitation Matters
A concussion is a form of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) caused by a disruption in normal brain function. It can occur from a direct blow to the head or indirect forces applied to the body, where rapid acceleration or deceleration causes the brain to move within the skull.
Importantly:
Loss of consciousness occurs in less than 10% of concussions
Being “knocked out” is not required to diagnose a concussion
Symptoms can affect thinking, emotions, memory, balance, vision, and sleep
Without proper rehabilitation, symptoms may persist longer and interfere with daily life.

What Is Post-Concussion Rehabilitation?
Post-Concussion Rehabilitation is an active treatment approach that helps the brain and nervous system recover through guided, symptom-specific therapy. Rather than complete rest alone, modern concussion care emphasizes controlled, progressive activity under professional supervision.
Our certified physiotherapist performs a detailed assessment and designs a rehabilitation plan that may include:
Vestibular (balance and dizziness) rehabilitation
Vision and eye-movement therapy
Neck (cervical spine) treatment
Gradual exercise re-introduction
Education on symptom management and pacing
Who Can Benefit From Post-Concussion Rehabilitation?
Post-Concussion Rehabilitation is beneficial for individuals who:
Continue to experience symptoms days or weeks after injury
Have dizziness, balance, or vision issues
Struggle with concentration or mental fatigue
Experience headaches or neck pain
Need guidance for safe return to activity
Early rehabilitation has been shown to reduce recovery time and improve outcomes.
