Progress at the Right Pace
Rehabilitation shaped around your symptoms.
Concussion symptoms and recovery timelines can vary from person to person. Physiotherapy may help assess movement-related concerns and support a gradual return to activity.
Your treatment plan is based on your symptoms, current tolerance, daily demands and recovery goals.
- Dizziness or balance concerns
- Headache or neck-related symptoms
- Reduced exercise tolerance
- Difficulty returning to regular activities
- Planning a paced return to work, school or recreation

Some people experience dizziness, unsteadiness or reduced movement confidence.
