Returning to sport after an injury or time away is more than waiting until pain settles. A physiotherapy-led return-to-sport plan can help assess mobility, strength, balance, control, and how your body responds to sport-specific tasks before you build back toward full participation.

At Fairway Physiotherapy, care is individualized to your goals, activity level, and stage of recovery. Whether you are returning to hockey, running, the gym, court sports, or recreational activity, the focus is on progressive loading and helping you move with confidence.

With fall sports approaching, now is a great time to think about baseline concussion testing.

Baseline testing provides information about an athlete's normal brain function before an injury occurs.

If a concussion happens during the season, this information can help healthcare providers make more informed return-to-play decisions.

Ask us whether baseline testing is appropriate for your athlete, team, or organization.

Concussion rehabilitation isn't just about waiting for symptoms to disappear.

Feeling symptom-free doesn't always mean your brain has fully recovered.

Returning too soon can increase the risk of another injury.

🏃 Exercise tolerance
⚽ Sport demands
🧠 Cognitive recovery
👀 Vision and balance
💪 Neck function

Whether you're a recreational athlete or competitive player, we're here to help you return safely.

No two concussions look exactly alike.

Some people experience headaches.

Others struggle with concentration, balance, mood changes, or sleep.

Understanding your symptoms is the first step toward the right treatment plan.

Concussion care has changed significantly over the last several years.

Current research shows that complete rest for long periods may actually delay recovery.

Instead, healthcare providers now recommend:

✔ Relative rest for the first 24–48 hours
✔ Gradual return to activity
✔ Individualized exercise
✔ Symptom-guided progression

Our team uses current concussion guidelines to help patients recover safely.

Many people think a concussion only happens if you lose consciousness—but that's actually uncommon.

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury caused by a blow, bump, or jolt to the head or body that causes the brain to move inside the skull.

Symptoms can include:
🧠 Headaches
💫 Dizziness
🤢 Nausea
💡 Light or noise sensitivity
😴 Fatigue
🧩 Difficulty concentrating
😟 Mood changes

Every concussion is different, which is why individualized assessment and treatment are so important.

At Fairway Physiotherapy, our interdisciplinary concussion team provides evidence-based care to help you recover safely and confidently.
