Common Questions About Concussion
What is a concussion?
A concussion is a type of mild brain injury caused by a blow, fall, or force that causes the brain to move quickly inside the skull. It can affect balance, vision, thinking, or mood.
When should I seek help?
If you experience symptoms such as headache, dizziness, confusion, changes in vision or balance, nausea, or sensitivity to light or sound, especially after a head impact, it’s a good idea to see a qualified healthcare provider.
Is rest enough to recover?
Rest in the early stage is important. After the initial period, gradually introducing movement, exercises, and other therapies can help. The timing and type of activity should be guided by your care professional.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery varies based on how severe the concussion was, your symptoms, and how early and well treatment begins. Some people improve in days or weeks. Others may need more time and support.
When is Physiotherapy Needed?
Physiotherapy is needed when you experience pain, stiffness, or limited movement that interferes with your daily activities. It can also be beneficial for preventing injuries, recovering from surgery, and managing chronic conditions.
Can I safely return to my sport, work, or school?
Yes, when your symptoms allow and under professional guidance. We help with return-to-activity plans that gradually reintroduce physical or cognitive demands so you can return safely.
