URGENT CARE COMES FIRST
Know When a Head Injury Needs Emergency Care
Call 911 or seek emergency medical care if you experience a severe or worsening headache, repeated vomiting, a seizure, increasing confusion, weakness or numbness, double vision, difficulty waking, severe neck pain or symptoms that are rapidly getting worse.
Physiotherapy is not emergency care. If you suspect a concussion and have not received a medical assessment, arrange appropriate medical care before returning to activities where another head impact could occur.
FROM SYMPTOMS TO A PLAN
How Concussion Physiotherapy Supports Recovery
Concussion physiotherapy assesses physical factors that may be contributing to persistent symptoms and difficulty returning to normal activity. Your physiotherapist uses the findings to create a focused rehabilitation plan rather than giving every patient the same exercises.
Our approach to concussion treatment in Coquitlam may address neck-related headaches, dizziness, balance difficulties, visual-motion sensitivity and reduced tolerance for activity.
Physiotherapy does not replace medical assessment. Concerns outside the physiotherapy scope may require care from another appropriate healthcare professional.
YOUR FIRST 45 MINUTES
What Happens During Your First Assessment?
Your first appointment is used to understand how the injury is affecting you and determine an appropriate direction for rehabilitation.
01
Share What Happened
Explain how the injury occurred, when your symptoms began, what affects them and how they are limiting your daily life. Previous concussions and relevant health concerns may also be reviewed.
02
Complete an Assessment
Your physiotherapist will select focused physical checks based on your symptoms. The assessment may include movement, balance, coordination and appropriate visual or activity-based tasks.
03
Establish a Starting Point
Your current abilities and symptom response will help determine what level of activity and exercise is appropriate at the beginning of care.
04
Review Your Next Steps
Your physiotherapist will explain the relevant findings and recommend an initial plan, which may include exercises, activity guidance and follow-up care.

FAQs
Common questions about Sports Physiotherapy
What Is Concussion Physiotherapy?
Concussion physiotherapy assesses physical factors that may contribute to headaches, neck pain, dizziness, balance problems, visual-motion sensitivity and reduced activity tolerance after a concussion.
What Happens During Concussion Treatment?
Treatment depends on your assessment findings and may include neck exercises, balance work, gradual physical activity, symptom-management guidance and a personalized home program. With these changes, the page still covers the important treatment and return-to-activity intent without needing two large standalone sections.
How Long Does Concussion Recovery Take?
Recovery varies between patients. Some people improve within days or weeks, while others need longer and may benefit from targeted rehabilitation.
Is Concussion Physiotherapy Covered by Insurance?
Many extended health plans cover physiotherapy, but limits and requirements vary. ICBC and WorkSafeBC appointments are also available for eligible claims.

Get a Clearer Plan for Your Recovery
You do not need to know whether your symptoms are coming from your neck, balance system, visual-motion sensitivity or reduced activity tolerance before booking.
Your first assessment is used to understand what is affecting you, identify physical factors that may be contributing and build a gradual plan for returning to work, exercise and everyday life.
