You Don't Have to Wait It Out — Guided Recovery Gets You Back Faster
A concussion can affect how you think, move, sleep, and feel—even long after the initial impact.
At Dynamic Physiotherapy, we provide evidence-based concussion assessment and treatment designed to help you recover fully and return to school, work, and sport safely.

Still Not Right After Your Concussion?
Most people expect concussion symptoms to fade after a week or two. But for many, the fog lingers — and it's more than just a headache.
Common symptoms that persist:
- Headaches or pressure
- Dizziness or balance problems
- Light and noise sensitivity
- Blurred vision or difficulty focusing
- Fatigue and irritability
- Poor sleep
- Difficulty concentrating or remembering
You've rested. You've waited. You may have even been told to "just give it more time."
Here's what we know now: Rest alone isn't enough. Research shows that early assessment and guided exercise leads to faster, better recovery. The sooner you start, the better your outcome.
How Concussion Recovery Actually Works
Because every concussion is different, we start by identifying exactly which systems were affected; then build your treatment plan around those specific areas:
✓ Vestibular (inner ear) system — balance, dizziness, motion sensitivity
✓ Visual system — focus, tracking, eye strain
✓ Neck (cervical) function — stiffness, headaches, referred symptoms
✓ Cognitive & physical tolerance — activity progression and safe return to sport/work
✓ Education & pacing — helping you understand symptoms and manage them effectively
The result:
You recover faster, safer, and more completely — with fewer setbacks.
When dizziness is part of your symptoms, we integrate our specialized Vestibular Physiotherapy program — addressing the inner ear component that many concussion patients don't realize is treatable.
Safe Return to Sport, School & Activity
Returning too soon after a concussion — even when you feel better — is one of the most common mistakes patients make. Symptoms can return, and setbacks can set recovery back significantly.
Our return-to-activity program is structured, tested, and guided at every step:
- Each stage is only progressed once you're symptom-free at the current level
- We assess your readiness before advancing — not just how you feel, but how your system responds
- Exercise and activity are introduced gradually, with guided progression designed to build tolerance safely
- We coordinate with schools, coaches, and employers when needed to ensure a smooth transition back
You don't move to the next step until you're ready. We make sure of that.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is your sub-headline

Yes. We provide in-depth assessments to identify underlying issues and help manage long-term recovery safely.
Yes. Concussion rehab is physiotherapy and is covered under most extended health plans.
Concussion management is performed by our certified physiotherapists and is billed as a standard physiotherapy session. This means it is covered by most extended health insurance plans. You can view our current session rates on our Online Booking Page, or our staff would be happy to discuss pricing and insurance direct billing with you over the phone.
Safety is our top priority. We use a Evidence Based Protocol that ensures you are symptom-free during progressive physical exertion before you are cleared for full contact. We provide objective testing and clear communication for coaches and schools, giving you the confidence that it is truly safe to get back in the game.
Yes. If your headaches, brain fog, or dizziness have lasted longer than two weeks, you may be experiencing Post-Concussion Syndrome. We have extensive experience in identifying which system (neck, vision, or vestibular) is causing the lingering symptoms. By targeting the root cause, we can help "restart" the recovery process, even if your injury happened months ago.
