Concussion Management
Useing the current concussion protocols combined with the best evidence and recommended return to sport guidelines.
OUR APPROACH
Utilising the latest developments in sports-related concussion assessment, management and recovery.
We provide a step-by-step approach, using specific criteria, provides clear guidance on your recovery and improves your confidence as you work towards returning to play.
We can access the affected systems involved in concussion, including general symptom presentation, cervical spine dysfunction, vestibular system, oculomotor motor system, headache, balance, exercise tolerance.
An early initial assessment and a management plan can promote improved and earlier recovery. We can optimise your recovery by working together, and your GP and any other medical specialists.
WHO CAN BENEFIT?
Most commonly concussion occurs in athletes involved in contact sports such as football and rugby. Anyone can suffer concussion and it can impact their lives.
Concussion management is very important in returning students back to their studies. Sports people back to sports and anyone back to work or their functional activities. Adolescents where concussion rates are high and the impact of poor recovery on the developing brain can be very serious and long term.
Concussion recovery is not as simple as just feeling well again. The risk of developing significant and prolonged issues remains well after initial symptoms have gone.
An assessment will also identify those with more serious concerns who require further specialist review and referral.
WHY A PHYSIO?
We assist athletes returning to sport safely from concussion.
Ensuring a safe return to activity, means understanding the symptomatic recovery is not the same as physiological recovery.
A second impact on a brain that has not fully recovered can be catastrophic. Avoid possible long-term issues associated with brain function and mental health disorders and poorly managed concussion.
Returning to sport and activity is not as easy as many people think. Often there are ongoing symptoms and issues, when concussion is well managed the risks of complications are very low.
Our team is specifically trained in the management of concussion and can assist you back to optimal recovery.
