About the service

What is concussion management?

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that disrupts normal brain function. Symptoms can include headache, dizziness, brain fog, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and sensitivity to light or noise. Most people recover fully — but recovery needs to be managed carefully.

Concussion recovery is not simply a matter of rest. Current evidence supports a graduated return-to-activity approach, carefully managed to avoid symptom exacerbation. We assess your symptoms, identify contributing factors (such as vestibular, cervical or visual involvement) and design a personalised recovery plan.

We work closely with your GP, school and sporting club to coordinate your return to full activity safely and confidently.

The recovery process

How does concussion recovery work?

Recovery is not one-size-fits-all. We use a structured, staged approach that is guided by your symptoms and adapted as you progress.

01

Initial assessment

We take a thorough history of the injury and your current symptoms. We assess vestibular function, cervical spine, balance, and cognitive load tolerance to build a complete picture of where you are in your recovery.

02

Symptom management

We identify your symptom triggers and help you understand how to manage activity levels to avoid setbacks. Rest is important early on, but prolonged rest can slow recovery — we help you find the right balance.

03

Graduated return to activity

Using evidence-based protocols, we guide you through a step-by-step return to daily activities, school, work, and eventually sport — progressing only when symptoms allow.

04

Return to sport clearance

We work with your GP and sporting club to ensure a safe, documented return to full contact sport, following current best-practice guidelines.

If symptoms are persisting beyond the expected recovery window, early physiotherapy input can make a significant difference. Do not wait — contact us to discuss your situation.
