Our Specialised Care
At Performe Sports Medicine, your brain health is our priority. If you're dealing with the uncertainty of a concussion, we're here to provide clarity, care, and confidence every step of the way. Contact us today to book your appointment and take the first step toward a full recovery.
If in doubt, sit them out
Any suspected concussion means no return to play that day. We see you as soon as possible after the knock.
Red flags checked first
Worsening headache, repeated vomiting, neck pain or confusion need hospital care. We screen for these before anything else.
Symptoms, balance, vision and memory
We assess the areas concussion most often affects, so your plan is built on how you are actually recovering.
A graded return to sport plan
Step by step from rest to light exercise, training and contact, in line with the Australian concussion guidelines.
The 14 and 21 day rules
Under 19s and community athletes need 14 symptom-free days before contact training, and at least 21 days before playing again.
School and work come first
We plan the return to learning and work alongside training, so the brain is ready before the body goes back to contact.
Help when symptoms linger
Headaches, dizziness, neck pain or fatigue that hang around get targeted rehab rather than more waiting.
Clearance you can trust
You return to contact only once a practitioner has cleared you, with a clear plan for parents and coaches to follow.
