What is post-concussion dizziness?
After a concussion, some people have dizziness, unsteadiness, and sensitivity to movement that lingers beyond the first days. Acute concussion red flags must be assessed and cleared by a doctor before vestibular loading begins. Physiotherapy then uses vestibular and balance rehabilitation, along with a carefully graded return to activity, to settle these symptoms safely.

Clinical rehabilitation framework
Evidence-informed clinical progression and starter exercise targets for post-concussion dizziness.
Clinical progression criteria & key observations
- Episode length points to the cause: seconds and positional suggests BPPV; hours suggests Meniere disease; days of constant vertigo suggests neuritis
- Duration of nystagmus on Dix-Hallpike separates canalithiasis (transient) from cupulolithiasis (persistent)
- A normal head-impulse test with acute continuous vertigo raises concern for a central cause
