Evidence-based concussion rehabilitation and vestibular physiotherapy for post-concussion syndrome, dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders.
Post-concussion symptoms persisting beyond 10–14 days are a clear signal for physiotherapy assessment — here's when to act.
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that disrupts normal brain function. While most concussions resolve within 2–4 weeks, a significant number of people develop prolonged symptoms — persistent headaches, brain fog, dizziness, fatigue, sensitivity to light and noise, difficulty concentrating, and emotional changes. This is known as post-concussion syndrome, and it requires structured, professional rehabilitation to resolve.
Vestibular dysfunction — problems with the inner ear balance system — is one of the most common and debilitating consequences of concussion. It also occurs independently from conditions like BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), labyrinthitis, and vestibular neuritis. At Move to Motion, we offer specialized assessment and treatment for both concussion recovery and vestibular disorders, using evidence-based protocols developed from the latest clinical research.
Persistent headaches, brain fog, fatigue, and cognitive difficulties lasting weeks or months after a concussion. We use graded exercise, cervical treatment, and vestibular rehab to systematically resolve symptoms.
Room-spinning vertigo, positional dizziness, lightheadedness, and unsteadiness. We identify whether the cause is central (brain), peripheral (inner ear), or cervicogenic (neck) and treat accordingly.
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo — brief, intense episodes of vertigo triggered by head position changes. Treated with specific repositioning manoeuvres (Epley, Semont) that resolve symptoms in 1–3 sessions.
Difficulty standing, walking on uneven surfaces, or feeling unsteady. We use progressive balance training to retrain the vestibular, visual, and somatosensory systems that maintain your equilibrium.
Return-to-sport protocols following concussion in hockey, football, soccer, martial arts, and other contact sports. We follow the international consensus guidelines for staged, supervised return to play. Active rehab →
Concussions from motor vehicle accidents often co-occur with whiplash and cervical spine injury. We treat both simultaneously. ICBC covers concussion rehabilitation under your claim. ICBC claims →
Our concussion and vestibular rehabilitation program is structured, progressive, and tailored to your specific symptoms and functional goals. We don’t just wait for symptoms to go away — we actively treat them with targeted interventions.
Your initial assessment is 60 minutes and includes a detailed history of your injury, a symptom inventory, cognitive screening, vestibular-ocular motor testing, balance assessment, and cervical spine evaluation. We use validated clinical tools to establish a baseline and identify exactly which systems are affected — vestibular, ocular, cervical, cognitive, or a combination.
From there, we build a structured rehabilitation plan with clear stages and progression criteria. You’ll know exactly what to expect at each stage and what benchmarks you need to hit before advancing. Follow-up sessions are typically 30–45 minutes, 1–2 times per week. Most concussions resolve within 6–12 sessions with proper rehabilitation. We coordinate with your physician, school, or employer as needed for return-to-activity clearance.
