CONCUSSION REHABILITATION

Physiophix performs comprehensive assessment and treatment of concussion. If you are experiencing symptoms 2 weeks after a concussion, it is strongly recommended to have further assessment. Physiophix has Vestibular and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapists who can assess your symptoms and devise a rehabilitation program to help you return to work, school and sport.

Why is it important to have further assessment?


  • 15-30% of concussion episodes have a prolonged recovery.
  • Factors that contribute to a prolonged recovery can be assessed by our team. This may include:-
  • Migraines and headache
  • Dizziness
  • Neck pain
  • Balance and co-ordination
  • Spatial Awareness
  • Visual Problems
  • Exercise Tolerance

HELPFUL CONCUSSION INFORMATION



  • Concussion can be a very complicated problem to treat and often needs the help of a multi-disciplinary team. Physiophix can help with referrals to Neuropsychologists, Neurologists, Orthoptists and sleep studies if required.
  • We will work closely with your GP, sporting team, teacher and employer to facilitate your recovery.
  • Physiophix is one of the only clinics on the Central Coast to use Videonystamography (VNG) testing, this will provide a more accurate diagnosis of your symptoms.

Follow-up Appointments
