Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to recover from a concussion?

Recovery time varies. Some people recover within weeks, while others experience symptoms for longer. Physiotherapy supports recovery based on individual progress.

Do I need imaging before starting physiotherapy?

Not always. Many concussion and dizziness cases are managed based on clinical assessment rather than imaging results.

Can physiotherapy help dizziness without a concussion?

Yes. Physiotherapy is commonly used to treat dizziness and balance conditions even when no head injury has occurred.

Should I rest completely after a concussion?

Complete rest is no longer recommended for extended periods. Guided, gradual return to activity is often more effective.

Can children and teens receive physiotherapy for concussion?

Yes. Physiotherapy can be appropriate for children and adolescents experiencing concussion or dizziness symptoms.

Can physiotherapy help even if pain has been present for a long time?

Yes. Many people with long-standing pain benefit from physiotherapy focused on movement and function.

Does chronic pain mean something is damaged?

Not necessarily. Chronic pain often involves increased sensitivity of the nervous system rather than ongoing tissue damage.

Will exercise make my pain worse?

Exercise is carefully selected and progressed to match your tolerance. Some discomfort may occur, but care is taken to avoid flare-ups.

Is chronic pain all in my head?

No. Chronic pain is real and involves complex interactions between the nervous system, body, and environment.

How long does treatment take?

Timelines vary. Progress is often gradual and focused on long-term improvement rather than quick fixes.
