🏒 Shifty is all in for game day… and yes, he’s sporting his favourite Guelph Storm jersey!

While cheering from the sidelines, it’s a good reminder that head injuries can happen in any sport, even hockey. If a player shows symptoms of concussion after a hit or collision on the ice or field, the safest move is always: “When in doubt, sit them out.”

Whether you’re on the ice or watching the game, knowing concussion signs and seeking proper assessment is key to a safe return to play.

💛 Shifty is a massive Storm fan and will be cheering them on tonight — let’s gooo!

🕶️ Shifty couldn’t resist our Virtual Reality goggles… testing elf agility in a digital winter wonderland!

Virtual reality isn’t just for fun — it’s becoming an exciting tool in vestibular rehabilitation. VR can help:
- Retrain balance and coordination
- Reduce dizziness
- Gradually challenge the vestibular system in a controlled environment
- Improve quality of life

⚠️ Important: VR rehab should only be done under the guidance of a trained healthcare professional. Trying it on your own after concussion could worsen symptoms

Shifty’s learning that even elves need guidance when testing new tech!

📞 Looks like Shifty has taken over reception today — answering phones, sending faxes, and reminding everyone that you don’t need to navigate concussion recovery alone.

If you’re dealing with symptoms after a concussion, our team is here to help guide you through assessment, treatment, and a safe return to work, school, and sport.

No referral needed.
You can call our Guelph clinic directly 519-822-2226, or find a trained Shift Concussion provider near you (shiftconcussion.ca/providers).

Shifty’s ready to take your call… though we recommend speaking to our actual staff. 😉

😴 Looks like Shifty hit the wall today… we found him face-down on the massage bed waiting for his turn!

After a concussion, it’s common for people to experience neck tension, muscle soreness, and whiplash-type symptoms. These can contribute to headaches, dizziness, and that “tight and stiff” feeling around the neck and shoulders.

Soft-tissue treatment and massage can help by:
• Reducing muscle tension
• Improving mobility
• Easing headache-related discomfort
• Supporting the rehab work that follows

Shifty’s learning that recovery isn’t just about the brain — the neck plays a big role too. (And also that elves really enjoy massage tables.)

🏃‍♂️ We caught Shifty trying out our treadmill… and yes, he was “testing his elf endurance” on the Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test (BCTT)!

The BCTT is a clinical tool used after concussion to safely measure how your body responds to exertion. It helps clinicians determine:
- How exercise affects your symptoms
- Your safe threshold for activity
- How to guide a gradual, symptom-limited aerobic program

Why it’s important:
Early, controlled aerobic exercise has been shown to support recovery after concussion — the BCTT helps us determine what’s safe for each individual.

✨ Shifty’s verdict: “Always start slow… and maybe stick to candy canes for warm-up.”

12/06/2025

👀 We caught Shifty sneaking off with a visual fixation stick… apparently he wanted to “test his elf-level eye skills.” (He scored very highly in candy-cane tracking.)

Did you know that over 50% of people with concussion experience some form of functional vision change — especially with eye teaming, eye movements, or visual endurance.

These changes can cause symptoms like:
- Blurry or unstable vision when reading
- Eye strain or fatigue
- Headaches
- Trouble with screens
- Feeling “off” or dizzy when tracking moving objects

What’s surprising?
👉 Clarity of vision (eg. 20/20 eyesight) often stays the same.
So this part of your regular eye exam may look “fine,” even when functional vision skills still need rehabilitation.

Targeted therapy can help retrain these systems when issues persist — even Shifty approves.

🎁 Look who arrived at the clinic just in time for December…
Meet Shifty, our official North Pole Rehab Elf!

Straight from the North Pole Department of Jolly Well-Being, Shifty was sent by Santa to bring a little magic (and just the right amount of mischief) to our clinic this holiday season.

✨ He’ll be exploring every corner of the clinic — testing equipment, cheering on patients, and keeping an eye on good rehab habits.

✨ Throughout December, Shifty will also share bite-sized concussion education to help keep our community informed, empowered, and supported in recovery.

We can’t wait for you to see what he gets up to next! 🎅🧠✨

🧠 Myth or Fact?
“Concussions affect kids and adults the same way.”

❌ Myth: Children and adolescents recover just like adults.
✅ Fact: Young brains are still developing, which can change how symptoms show up and how long recovery takes.

Kids and teens are often more sensitive to cognitive fatigue, school demands, and symptom flare-ups. While many will recover within 4 weeks, it’s not uncommon for recovery to take longer—especially with high academic loads, repeat injuries, or delayed access to care.

That’s why return-to-school and return-to-play plans should always be age-appropriate and individualized.

Key Takeaway:
Children and adolescents need tailored concussion care, close monitoring, and the right supports to recover safely.

Our Story

Shift Concussion Management is a widely recognized education platform dedicated to raising the standard of care for concussion rehabilitation. Shift offers training to Health Care Practitioners and Physicians on assessment and management strategies, based on the most current and evidence-based literature and clinical expertise.

What started as a small introductory course in Ontario, Canada, has now gained nation and world-wide attention, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity for international expansion. The core value of our company is rooted in the quality of patient care and we feel this is pivotal in what makes our approach to post-concussion management successful. The structure of our program is based around a multifaceted concept, with several important pillars for the complete management of concussion: education, interdisciplinary collaboration, objective assessment markers, and individualized rehabilitation strategies. By helping clinicians develop critical thinking skills through interactive and engaging case reviews, we encourage an approach to concussion management that eliminates reliance on a set “protocol”, allowing the clinician to take their knowledge and treat the patient as a whole with individualized care strategies. Through the growth and expansion of our program, our education model has evolved to encompass two streams of training: Level 1 and Level 2.

Shift wholeheartedly believes that with the right education and management strategies in place, we can deliver successful patient outcomes to all individuals following concussion injuries. We look forward to having the opportunity to engage and introduce Clinicians and patients to our approach.
