At Fluid Medical, we provide comprehensive concussion assessment and management for athletes, active individuals, and children. Concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that requires expert evaluation, structured recovery, and careful return-to-play guidance to prevent long-term complications.
A concussion occurs when a blow to the head or body causes rapid movement of the brain within the skull. This can disrupt normal brain function, even if there is no loss of consciousness. Symptoms may include:
Even “mild” symptoms should never be ignored.
As a modern general and sports medical practice in Cape Town, Fluid Medical follows evidence-based international concussion protocols to ensure safe, structured recovery.
We conduct a detailed neurological examination, cognitive screening, symptom scoring, and balance assessment. If needed, we coordinate imaging or specialist referral.
Recovery from concussion is not one-size-fits-all. We provide a structured plan that includes:
For athletes, especially in contact sports, proper clearance is critical. We guide you through a medically supervised, staged return-to-play process to minimise risk of second-impact injury.
As part of our sports medicine offering in Cape Town, we understand the demands of training, competition, and recovery — and we prioritise both performance and long-term brain health.
Untreated or poorly managed concussions can lead to prolonged symptoms, increased risk of further injury, and delayed recovery. Early medical assessment improves outcomes and reduces complications.
If you suspect a concussion — even if symptoms seem minor — book a same-day consultation at Fluid Medical.
