Vestibular and Concussion Care

Vestibular and concussion care at Physio Theory focuses on restoring balance, visual stability, and confidence in movement following concussion, dizziness, or vestibular dysfunction. Care is guided by detailed clinical assessment and objective testing to track recovery accurately and safely.

This service is appropriate for individuals recovering from concussion, motor vehicle accidents, falls, or vestibular disorders who continue to experience dizziness, imbalance, or difficulty tolerating daily activities.

Vestibular and concussion physiotherapy may be used to address
Dizziness or vertigo
Imbalance or unsteadiness
Visual motion sensitivity
Difficulty with head or eye movements

Care is individualized based on symptoms, triggers, and functional limitations.

Vestibular rehabilitation exercises
Balance and gait training
Visual and oculomotor retraining
Cervical spine treatment when indicated
Gradual exposure to symptom provoking activities

The goal is to improve function while safely reducing symptom sensitivity over time.

When appropriate, vestibular and concussion care integrates performance testing and objective balance assessment to track progress beyond symptom reporting alone.

Objective data helps guide progression, identify lingering deficits, and support safe return to work, activity, or sport.

Return to activity following concussion or vestibular dysfunction is guided by symptom response, balance control, and functional readiness. Progression is individualized and paced to reduce flare ups while restoring confidence and independence.

This approach supports sustainable recovery rather than rushed timelines.
