Concussion Assessments

Hayley uses a structured assessment that looks at your symptoms, balance, coordination, cognitive function, and neurological responses. She uses vestibular goggles to test eye movement and balance, which gives a more objective read on how your brain and vestibular system are coping after impact. From there she will explain what she found, what it means, and give you clear guidance on what to do next.

If you have had a knock to the head and are experiencing headaches, dizziness, brain fog, nausea, or sensitivity to light or sound, it is worth getting assessed. Even if symptoms feel mild, an early assessment gives you a clearer picture and helps you avoid doing things that could slow your recovery down.

No referral needed. You can book straight online. If you are unsure whether what you are experiencing is concussion-related, just reach out and Hayley will help you work out whether an assessment is the right next step.

A graded return is a staged approach that brings you back to full activity progressively rather than all at once. Each stage involves a specific level of activity, and you only move forward when you are symptom-free at the current level. Hayley will map this out for you so you know exactly what you can and cannot do at each point in your recovery.

For most people, symptoms resolve within two to four weeks. Some people, particularly those who have had previous concussions or who push through symptoms early, take longer. Hayley will give you an honest read on where you are at after your assessment and will check in as you progress through your return plan.
