Esteban’s Approach

Concussion recovery involves several interacting systems — the vestibular (balance), visual, cervical (neck), and autonomic nervous systems — and persistent symptoms usually mean one or more of these hasn't fully recovered. Esteban's assessment identifies which systems are involved.

Rehabilitation is staged and symptom-guided, combining neck treatment, vestibular and visual exercises, and gradual exertion progression, working toward a safe, structured return to sport, work, or study.

What to Expect in Your First Session

Assessment covers your neck, balance, and visual systems, along with a detailed symptom history, to identify which areas need targeted rehabilitation and to establish a safe starting point for gradual return to activity.

Common Questions

How long after a concussion should I wait before treatment?

−

Once initial acute symptoms have settled and you have medical clearance to begin active rehabilitation, assessment can help identify what's still holding recovery back.

My symptoms are mostly dizziness — can that be treated?

+

Yes, dizziness and balance disturbances after concussion often relate to the vestibular system or neck, both of which respond well to targeted rehabilitation.

Can you help me get back to sport safely?

+

Yes, a graded return-to-sport (or return-to-work/study) protocol is built around your specific symptoms and progress, in line with current concussion guidelines.
