According to UK NICD guidelines (NICE CKS, 2023), accurate diagnosis remains a challenge due to overlapping symptoms with other vestibular and headache disorders. This is especially concerning in people with a history of traumatic brain injury, a population at significantly higher risk of developing vestibular dysfunctions, including vestibular migraine, which frequently go unnoticed in standard assessments.

It’s time to raise awareness, improve screening, and ensure no one is left navigating these symptoms alone.

Concussion is often talked about as if it’s just a headache, but in reality, it rarely works like that.

A concussion can disrupt several different systems in the body at the same time. If you only look at one piece of the 'puzzle', it’s easy to miss what’s actually driving someone’s symptoms.

In our clinic, we tend to think about concussion through five main systems.

1. Autonomic nervous system

This is the body’s internal regulator. It helps control things like heart rate, blood pressure, and how the body responds to activity.

When this system is affected after concussion, people often notice:

- Fatigue that doesn’t make much sense
- Feeling worse after exercise or mental effort
- Heart rate responses that feel “off”
- Symptoms that flare when activity increases

2. Cervical spine

The neck is commonly involved in concussion injuries, especially when there has been a sudden acceleration or deceleration of the head.

Issues here can show up as:
- Neck pain
- Headaches
- Dizziness with movement
- Reduced neck endurance

Sometimes the neck is a major contributor to ongoing symptoms.

3. Vestibular system

The vestibular system helps us stay balanced and orient ourselves in space.

When it’s not working well, people might experience:
- Motion sensitivity
- Balance problems
- Vertigo
- Difficulty in busy visual environments (supermarkets are a classic example)

4. Oculomotor system

This system controls how the eyes move and work together.

After concussion, people often notice:
- Difficulty reading
- Eye strain
- Blurred vision
- Trouble tracking moving objects

Research suggests that more than 90% of people with mild traumatic brain injury show at least one form of oculomotor dysfunction.

5. Psychological and perceptual factors

Experiencing persistent symptoms can understandably affect how someone feels about their health, their activity levels, and their recovery. Things like stress, hypervigilance to symptoms, or reduced confidence in movement can influence how symptoms are experienced. That doesn’t mean the symptoms aren’t real., it just means recovery sometimes needs to address more than one layer.

If one of these systems gets missed, recovery can stall. Concussion rehab isn’t usually just a single exercise or one quick fix. It’s important which systems are involved and targeting them appropriately.

At Physio4You, we are passionate about delivering high-quality, evidence-based neurorehabilitation tailored to each client’s goals.

These photos showcase one of our skilled neuro physiotherapists working with a client post-stroke, focusing on upper limb rehabilitation.

Interventions include the use of:
1. Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) – to facilitate motor relearning, strengthen weak muscles, improve range of motion and to enhance functional ability by using electrical currents to stimulate muscle contraction.
2. Saebo Glove – facilitating repetitive, functional use of the hand and arm, promoting motor recovery, preventing muscle shortening within function.
3. Task-specific training – focusing on practicing real-life, meaningful activities in order to improve function.

Why concussion symptoms persist beyond two weeks

Most adults recover from a concussion within 10–14 days, whilst children and adolescents typically recover within 15–30 days. However, around 20–30% experience prolonged symptoms which are often interpreted as:

“Something must be seriously wrong.”
“It’s anxiety.”
“The scan was normal, so nothing’s wrong.”

In reality, persistent symptoms are usually the result of unresolved dysfunction in one or more systems:

• Cervicogenic dysfunction
• Vestibular impairment
• Oculomotor disturbance
• Autonomic dysregulation

Evidence supports multimodal rehabilitation for these cases, particularly when vestibular and cervical symptoms persist beyond 10 days.

Targeted rehabilitation may combine:

Treatment of the neck and cervical spine
Specific vestibular rehabilitation
Sub-symptom threshold aerobic exercise

Importantly persistent does not mean permanent. It may mean that something has not yet been properly assessed and addressed, or that the rehabilitation programme needs to change course. Ultimately recovery usually remains possible.

Why “just rest” is outdated after concussion.

For years, concussion advice centred around one message: “Rest until symptoms go away.”

We now know that approach is incomplete and not resulting in the best outcomes for people who have experienced a concussion.

Recent evidence shows that delays in concussion evaluation and rehabilitation significantly increase the risk of prolonged recovery. In paediatric populations requiring targeted rehabilitation, every additional day from injury to evaluation increased the risk of protracted recovery by 34%.

Historically the assumption was that ‘concussion’ was due to a transient disorder of brain function without long-term effects. However, the symptom duration and long-term impact of a concussion is difficult to predict.

It is now clear that concussion is a potentially prolonged, functional disturbance affecting multiple systems:

• Autonomic regulation
• Cervical spine
• Vestibular system
• Oculomotor control
• Cognitive processing

When those systems are not assessed early, subtle dysfunctions can persist and their persistence increases complexity.

Modern concussion care now recommends:

• 24–48 hours of relative rest
• Early graded return to activity
• Targeted rehabilitation when symptoms persist

Rest is important, but rest alone is not rehabilitation. Concussion recovery should be active, not passive and early, structured, targeted intervention changes outcomes.

At Physio4You, one of our core pillars is that our rehabilitation is data-driven — objective, measurable, and meaningful for both our clients and their wider support teams.

That’s why we’re proud to integrate Baiobit into our assessment and treatment process. Baiobit provides quantitative analysis of balance, gait, and functional movement, dynamically capturing pelvic movement in all three planes: tilt, obliquity, and rotation.

With this data, we can:
✅ Accurately assess single leg balance and gait symmetry
✅ Track changes over time with clear, visual graphs
✅ Create more tailored, evidence-based treatment plans
✅ Enhance clinical reports for case managers and solicitors
✅ Empower patients with real-time feedback using the "digital mirror" feature – a game-changer for visual proprioception

Client's love being able to see their progress and we love that it supports safer movement, better outcomes, and a clearer path forward for everyone involved in their care.

We’re excited about what this means for the future of Physio4You: NeuroPhysio, TraumaPhysio & PaedsPhysio

At PaedsPhysio:Physio4You, we’re passionate about supporting children and young people to move, play, and thrive. But did you know that the UK Chief Medical Officers recommend:

- Children aged 5–18 should get at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity every day, spread throughout the week.
- Younger children (3–4 years) need a minimum of 180 minutes per day, including at least 60 minutes at moderate-to-vigorous intensity.
- Activities should build strength, balance, coordination, and support bone health at least 3 days per week.
- Sedentary time should be minimised – long periods of sitting need to be broken up with movement.
- Moderate activities include walking, dancing, or playing tag.
- Vigorous ones include running, football, gymnastics, or skipping.
- Strength-building fun? Think climbing frames, playground swings, or monkey bars!

For children and young people with disabilities, new Sport England guidance recommends 120–180 minutes of aerobic activity weekly, adjusted to their ability and energy levels.

As paediatric physiotherapists, we help families find enjoyable, sustainable ways to meet these goals, from creative indoor play to outdoor adventures and school-based strategies.
