Thanks to for the invitation to talk on and at the clinic last night!
It was a great evening with some interesting discussion on all things concussion related. Great to meet the dedicated Physios and PTs doing great work across many sporting disciplines in Derry and the North West!
Great take home points-
👉 Concussion needs to be respected - best results if recognised asap and immediately removed from play
👉 Concussion is a very treatable condition - rehab and intervene early before chronic patterns establish
👉 Rest does not work for this condition and often causes chronic issues
👉 The best way to prevent a concussion is to properly treat and rehabilitate current concussion symptoms

Often sports clubs and athletes who take their sport and health seriously and wish to take a similar approach, are met with many barriers. These could include cost, poor communication between the support team, inability to access these specialists and lack of knowledge about how to make this happen.
