WE’re Good at the Hard stuff
Hit your head months ago? Still not yourself?
Get a clear answer for why symptoms are lingering, and a real plan to move past them.
Many concussions resolve in a couple of weeks. Some don't. If it's been months and you're still dealing with headaches, brain fog, dizziness, or feeling "off," you're not imagining it, and you're not alone.
Lingering symptoms usually mean more than one system was affected: vision, balance, the neck, sleep, mood. Treating just one of those in isolation is often why progress stalls.
We specialize in supporting people with persisting issues following injury . Whether you're weeks or months post-injury, we'll help you understand what's happening and what to do about it.
Since 2016 we have helped thousands of people recover following a concussion.
The Tall Tree difference:
-
Get a full assessment across every system a concussion can affect.
-
Concussion recovery can mean juggling physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, your doctor and more. We bring it all together under one roof so nothing falls through the cracks. See all the services we offer below.
-
No two concussions are the same, and neither should the rehab plans be. You’ll get clear, personalized plan built around your unique goals, whether that's returning to sport, work, or just feeling like yourself again
-
We strive to provide a warm, welcoming and fun environment so you can just focus on getting better - and maybe have a laugh while you're doing it.
Who is this for?
If you've just been injured or have been dealing with concussion issues for a while, we're here to help:
-

-

Want to understand what's actually going on, not just manage symptoms
Are ready for a clear plan and are willing to follow it

FAQs

Early, evidence-based treatment significantly improves recovery outcomes. Tall Tree's concussion services are designed for both acute and complex/persistent concussion.
