Concussion Rehabilitation in Burlington

Recovering from concussion involves more than rest. Guided, gradual rehabilitation helps you return to school, work and sport safely.

Understanding the condition

About concussion rehabilitation

A concussion is a brain injury caused by a blow to the head or body. Symptoms can include headache, dizziness, fatigue and difficulty concentrating. Current guidelines favour a short period of relative rest followed by gradual, symptom-guided activity. Many persistent concussion symptoms relate to the neck, vestibular system or exercise tolerance, all of which respond to targeted rehabilitation.

  • Dizziness or balance problems
  • Difficulty concentrating or remembering
  • Sensitivity to light or noise
