What it is
A short, honest summary.
- —TBI is brain damage from an external force — a road traffic accident, a fall, a sports impact, an assault.
- —Injuries are classified mild, moderate, severe — but every TBI is its own picture.
- —Effects span movement, cognition, behaviour, fatigue, sleep, and mood. Rehabilitation is multi-disciplinary.
What families notice
The signals worth taking seriously.
- 01Persistent headache, dizziness, or fatigue weeks after the event
- 02Memory or concentration changes
- 03Mood swings, irritability, or low motivation
- 04Sleep disturbance or sensitivity to light and sound
- 05Difficulty with the level of activity that was easy before
My approach
How the work is structured.
- —Cognitive-physical rehabilitation paced for fatigue management.
- —Goal-directed motor training — balance, gait, fine motor work.
- —Vestibular work where dizziness is part of the picture.
- —Coordination with the neurologist, psychologist, and occupational therapist.
What recovery looks like
A plain-language picture.
“TBI recovery is non-linear. Plateaus are real, but so are breakthroughs years out. The brain continues to repair on a slow, persistent timeline.”
FAQ
Common questions, answered briefly.
- I had a 'mild' concussion three months ago and still feel off. Is this normal?
- Yes, persistent post-concussion symptoms are common and treatable. Vestibular, visual, and cognitive work usually resolves the picture.
- Can severe TBI patients live independently again?
- Many do, with sufficient time and the right rehabilitation. We set near-term goals and re-evaluate honestly.
