Evidence-Based Concussion Care
Complete Concussion Assessment & Rehabilitation
Early assessment and targeted rehabilitation can significantly reduce recovery time and enhance outcomes following a concussion.
What is a Concussion?
A concussion is a type of mild traumatic brain injury resulting from a direct impact to the head or a forceful body collision causing the brain to move within the skull. Concussions can occur in various situations such as sports injuries, falls, motor vehicle accidents, and workplace incidents. Symptoms may not always involve loss of consciousness and can appear immediately or develop over time.

Concussion Treatment
Recovering from a concussion is different for everyone. While many people improve within a few weeks, others may experience ongoing symptoms that affect work, sport, study, and everyday life.
Early assessment and the right treatment can make an important difference to your recovery. Following the initial 24–48 hours of relative rest, a gradual return to physical and cognitive activity is generally recommended, guided by your symptoms and individual progress.
