Post-Concussion Care

Post-Concussion Recovery

Persistent symptoms after a concussion — headaches, dizziness, brain fog, neck pain, visual disturbance — often have treatable physical causes. We assess the cervical spine, vestibular system, and oculomotor function to find what is actually driving your symptoms, then steadily rebuild your tolerance to activity.

Post-concussion symptoms have treatable physical causes. We assess the cervical spine, vestibular system, and oculomotor function to find what is driving your symptoms — then build a graded plan that progresses you forward without flaring you up.

Understanding the Condition

Understanding Post-Concussion Syndrome

01

Cervicogenic Headache

Upper cervical joints (C1–C3) often refer pain into the head, temple, and behind the eyes after a concussion or whiplash event.

02

Vestibular Dysfunction

Inner-ear and central vestibular pathways can be disrupted by impact, producing dizziness, motion sensitivity, and balance disturbance.

03

Oculomotor & Gaze Issues

Disrupted convergence, saccades, and smooth pursuit drive visual fatigue, screen intolerance, and brain fog after head injury.

04

Cervical Whiplash

Neck soft-tissue and facet joint injuries almost always accompany concussion and can keep symptoms going long after the brain itself has healed.

05

Autonomic Dysregulation

Exercise intolerance, lightheadedness on standing, and palpitations point to autonomic involvement that responds well to graded exertion programmes.

06

Cognitive Fatigue

Overlap between cervical, vestibular, and visual systems creates a low ceiling for mental and physical effort — a treatable, not permanent, state.

How we treat it

The KINETIKA Approach

1
Comprehensive Concussion Assessment

We assess the cervical spine, vestibular system, oculomotor function, and exertion tolerance to identify which physical systems are driving your symptoms.

2
Cervical Manual Therapy & Vestibular Rehab

Hands-on treatment for the upper cervical spine combined with targeted vestibular and gaze-stability exercises, dosed to your symptom threshold.

3
Graded Exertion & Cognitive Loading

Carefully progressed exercise and cognitive-load tasks that rebuild capacity without flaring symptoms — the most evidence-based intervention for persistent post-concussion symptoms.

4
Return-to-Sport & Specialist Co-Management

Stage-by-stage return-to-activity plans, co-managed with your neurologist or sports physician where needed, so you get back to work, training, or play safely.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Recovery timelines vary significantly. Some patients see major improvement within a few weeks; others with more complex presentations need a longer structured programme. We re-assess regularly so the plan tracks how you are actually progressing.

Current evidence says no. Brief initial rest is sensible, but prolonged complete rest tends to make things worse. Graded, symptom-monitored activity leads to better outcomes — and that is exactly what we structure.

Yes. We routinely co-manage post-concussion patients alongside neurologists, sports physicians, and other specialists — and we are happy to share clear progress notes with whoever else is involved in your care.

Often within the first one to two weeks, once acute symptoms have begun to stabilise. Starting graded rehabilitation early is safe and tends to shorten recovery — we adjust intensity to your symptom response, not the calendar.
