Our Team
Rehabilitation Physician
Rehabilitation physicians (also known as physiatrists) play a crucial role in managing concussion by providing comprehensive, patient-centered care to improve recovery and function. They assess and treat persistent symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, and fatigue, coordinating a multidisciplinary approach that may include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychology, and exercise therapy. Their focus is on optimizing neurological recovery, guiding return-to-work or return-to-sport decisions, and enhancing overall quality of life. By tailoring rehabilitation plans to individual needs, they help patients regain independence and long-term well-being.

Exercise Physiologist
An exercise physiologist helps you recover with personalised exercise plans to manage symptoms, improve balance, and safely return to activities. They use exercises to boost brain function and reduce stress, while also teaching you about the benefits of staying active and guiding you to adopt healthy habits for a better recovery.
