Many of us were taught that concussion management meant prolonged rest, dark rooms and waiting for symptoms to settle. Current evidence tells a different story.

International concussion guidelines now recommend a more active, individualised approach to recovery. In many cases, prolonged rest and a wait-and-see approach may increase the likelihood of persistent symptoms and delayed recovery.

These changes have important implications for how we guide patients back to work, school, exercise and sport. This concise clinical briefing translates the latest evidence into practical guidance you can apply in everyday practice.

I had been suffering with severe vertigo for weeks. Prescription drugs, plus several physiotherapy sessions elsewhere during that time provided little or no relief.

My symptoms were much diminished a short time after the second treatment given. The third treatment improved my ability to care for myself and move much more freely.

Knowing that effective treatment is available at Recharge Osteopathy & Migraine Clinic has helped me to resume an active and healthy lifestyle.

I’ve been receiving physical treatment from Recharge Osteopathy & Migraine Clinic for over a year to help manage chronic migraines and ongoing concussion symptoms. They have been extremely helpful and supportive in my healing journey & I’d be lost without their services!

Don’t hesitate to book a session with them, you won’t regret it.
