Concussion Management in Ottawa

Safe, Supportive Recovery After a Concussion

If you’ve been diagnosed with a concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), our experienced physiotherapists at New Life Physio and Health Clinic can help you recover safely and confidently. We conduct a thorough assessment to identify your specific symptoms and then design a personalized plan that supports your return to work, school, or sports.

 

Our comprehensive concussion assessment includes evaluation of neck function, vestibular and balance issues, vision and eye movement (oculomotor), and autonomic dysfunction such as exercise intolerance. We use this detailed picture to guide your treatment and progress, minimizing the risk of lingering symptoms.

Patients choose this approach because it provides structure, safety, and clear milestones on the road to recovery.
