Post-Concussion Dizziness

How Can Physiotherapy Help with Post-Concussion Dizziness?

Dizziness is one of the most common symptoms following a concussion and can persist for weeks, months, or occasionally longer after the initial injury. Post-concussion dizziness may be accompanied by balance problems, headaches, visual disturbances, difficulty concentrating, motion sensitivity, and reduced confidence with everyday activities.

These symptoms can affect work, exercise, driving, social activities, and overall quality of life. Physiotherapy, particularly vestibular rehabilitation, can play an important role in helping individuals recover by reducing dizziness, improving balance, restoring movement confidence, and supporting a safe return to normal activities.

At Community Physio, we provide specialist assessment and treatment for individuals experiencing:

• Persistent dizziness following a concussion
• Balance and coordination difficulties
• Motion sensitivity
• Visual disturbances during movement
• Headaches associated with movement or activity
• Unsteadiness when walking
• Difficulty returning to work, education, or sport
• Increased fatigue following activity
• Reduced confidence with mobility
• Ongoing symptoms affecting daily life

Our experienced physiotherapists deliver personalised, evidence-based rehabilitation programmes designed to support recovery and help individuals regain confidence and independence.

Whether your goal is to reduce dizziness, improve balance, return to work, return to sport, or resume everyday activities, we are here to support you throughout your recovery journey.
