Concussion Clinic Newport

Concussion Central provides care for adults and children with dizziness, headaches and persisting symptoms after concussion, and mild traumatic brain injury.

Concussion Assessment and Management

At Concussion Central, we support individuals experiencing concussion, dizziness and head injury, whether symptoms present straight away or develop gradually over time.

Recovery from concussion varies from person to person — some recover quickly, while others experience persisting symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, brain fog, neck pain, visual problems, fatigue, anxiety or trouble concentrating.

Our skilled physiotherapists take a comprehensive multi-system approach to concussion assessment and management, working to identify the underlying causes of your symptoms and support your recovery with tailored rehabilitation.

From initial assessment through to full return to sport, work, or study, we offer clear, structured support at each stage of your recovery journey.

A Thorough Approach to Concussion Care

Concussion Central was established to bring a purposeful approach to concussion assessment and rehabilitation, supporting accurate assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of this complex condition.

Our team brings considerable experience in managing concussions across all age groups, from children and adolescents to adults and athletes, covering both sport-related and non-sport-related concussions. Our approach is informed by current research and contemporary concussion guidelines, ensuring every patient receives care aligned with the latest evidence.

What makes us different is our commitment to truly understanding your symptoms. Rather than relying on generic advice alone, we assess how a concussion may be affecting areas such as the vestibular system, visual system, neck, balance, cognition, exercise tolerance and your overall function. This allows us to identify the underlying causes, rather than addressing symptoms alone.
