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.
