Concussion Clinic Sydenham
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 provide comprehensive care for individuals experiencing concussion, dizziness and head injury, whether symptoms are immediate or develop over time.
Some individuals recover quickly from concussion, while others experience ongoing symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, brain fog, neck pain, visual disturbances, fatigue, anxiety or difficulty concentrating.
Our physiotherapists apply a detailed multi-system approach to concussion assessment and management, identifying the contributing factors behind your symptoms and guiding your recovery through personalised rehabilitation.
From your initial assessment through to full return to sport, work, or study, we provide clear, structured support across each stage of recovery.

A Focused Approach to Concussion Care
Concussion Central was established to provide a dedicated approach to concussion assessment and rehabilitation, to properly assess, diagnose, and treat this complex condition.
Our team has broad experience managing concussions across all age groups, from children and adolescents to adults and athletes, including sport-related and non-sport-related concussions. Our approach is guided by current research and contemporary concussion guidelines, ensuring every patient receives care that reflects the latest evidence.
What sets us apart 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 root cause, not just the symptoms.
