Your eyes are an extension of your brain.

Most athletes train strength, speed, and conditioning.

But very few train the system responsible for processing over 80% of the information your brain receives during sport… your visual system.

Neurovisual training focuses on improving how the brain and eyes work together to process movement, track objects, and make rapid decisions.

For athletes this can improve:

• Reaction time
• Tracking ability
• Awareness of the field or ice
• Hand-eye coordination
• Decision making speed

For individuals recovering from concussion, neurovisual training can also help retrain visual processing systems that are often disrupted after brain injury.

This is one of the key tools we use in our concussion rehabilitation and performance training programs.

🧠 March is Concussion Awareness Month, part of Brain Injury Awareness Month.

Every year, millions of athletes experience concussions, yet many go undiagnosed or untreated.

Symptoms can include:
• headaches
• dizziness
• brain fog
• light sensitivity
• vision problems
• difficulty concentrating

The good news is that most concussions recover well with proper treatment and guidance.

At our clinic we help athletes recover by addressing:
✔ vestibular issues
✔ vision problems
✔ neck injuries
✔ return-to-play progression

If you or your child is experiencing lingering symptoms after a head injury, getting evaluated can be an important first step toward recovery.

Some sports are higher risk for concussions in youth, high school, and collegiate athletes, but every athlete is at risk.

Large epidemiological studies have found higher concussion rates in sports such as:

• 🏒 Ice hockey
• ⚽ Soccer (especially girls’ soccer)
• 🥍 Lacrosse
• 🏈 Football
• 🤸 Cheerleading and gymnastics

For example, surveillance data of U.S. high school sports found concussion rates ranging from ~0.5–0.7 per 1,000 athlete exposures in football, with comparable or sometimes higher rates in sports like girls’ soccer and ice hockey depending on level of play.

Another important takeaway from the research:

Many concussions do not involve loss of consciousness, and symptoms may appear hours or even days after the injury.

That’s why early recognition and proper management are critical for a safe recovery.

Are you or someone you know still getting headaches weeks (or months) after a concussion?

This isn’t something you just “wait out.”

Persistent post-concussion headaches usually mean one or more systems didn’t fully recover and until you address the right system, the headache sticks around.

The most common causes we see:
• Neck dysfunction
• Balance (vestibular) issues
• Visual overload
• Nervous system dysregulation
• Poor load tolerance

The good news?

When you assess and rehab the right system, headaches are often very treatable even if they’ve been lingering for a long time.

At our clinic, we assess all of these systems and build individualized recovery plans for both in-person and virtual concussion rehab (so location doesn’t matter).

Most people think concussion care starts after symptoms show up.

That’s already too late.

The brain, neck, and visual system can all be trained before injury just like strength, speed, and conditioning.

When those systems are stronger:
• The hit is better tolerated
• Symptoms are often less severe
• Recovery is smoother
• Athletes return with more confidence

This isn’t about fear.
It’s about preparation.

If your athlete plays a contact sport, this is part of their training whether they realize it or not.

Just because it’s Christmas break doesn’t mean we don’t put in the work!

This NeuroMuscular Training (NMT) warm-up designed to lower concussion risk by improving how the body anticipates, absorbs, and reacts to force.

Concussion risk isn’t just about head contact.

It’s about:
✔️ Poor balance & postural control
✔️ Delayed reaction time
✔️ Inadequate neck & trunk stability
✔️ Inefficient deceleration mechanics

Research shows that athletes with better neuromuscular control, balance, and reaction timing experience fewer head impacts and reduced injury risk.

This warm-up trains:
• Balance & vestibular integration
• Reaction speed & visual processing
• Trunk & neck stability
• Body awareness during chaos

A warm-up that only raises heart rate isn’t enough.

We warm up the brain + body together.

🚨 JUST HIT YOUR HEAD?
If you or your child may have a concussion, taking the right steps early makes a big difference in recovery.

1️⃣ Remove From Activity
Stop playing or doing anything high-risk, even if you feel “fine.” Symptoms can be delayed.

2️⃣ Monitor Closely for 24–48 Hours
Watch for danger signs:
• worsening headache
• repeated vomiting
• confusion or slurred speech
• unequal pupils or weakness
• seizures or loss of consciousness
➡️ If any appear, go to the ER immediately.

3️⃣ Light Rest — Not Total Isolation
Avoid screens, loud noises, and bright lights for a short period.
Light walking or quiet activity is okay if symptoms don’t worsen.
Avoid lying in a dark room for days — it actually slows recovery.

4️⃣ See a Concussion-Trained Provider
Early evaluation shortens recovery and ensures you’re healing properly. A proper assessment looks at vision, balance, the neck, and risks for prolonged symptoms.

What NOT to do:
✘ Don’t return to sport, school, or work too soon
✘ Don’t judge recovery only by symptoms
✘ Don’t take ibuprofen or aspirin right away
✘ Don’t skip a professional assessment

Typical Recovery:
• Adults: 7–10 days
• Kids/teens: up to 4 weeks
Recovery depends on how early you recognized the injury, how you rested, and overall health.

BOTTOM LINE:
Remove. Monitor. Rest lightly. Get evaluated.
Your brain will thank you.

🧠 Can You Prevent a Concussion?
Not entirely — but you can reduce your risk.

Concussions are complex brain injuries, and while no equipment or exercise can make you completely “concussion-proof,” research shows a few smart habits can lower the chances or reduce the severity of head impacts.

✅ 1️⃣ Wear a Mouth Guard
While mouthguards don’t stop concussions completely, several studies show they can reduce the force transferred to the skull and brain during contact — especially in sports like hockey, football, and rugby.
A systematic review (Emery et al., British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2017) found athletes who consistently wore mouthguards had a lower rate of concussion and dental injury compared to those who didn’t.

✅ 2️⃣ Perform a Neuromuscular Training (NMT) Warm-Up
Structured warm-ups like FIFA 11+, Hockey Canada’s NMT program, or tailored neck and balance drills improve neck strength, reaction time, and body control — all factors that can help athletes better manage contact and falls.

Studies show NMT programs can reduce overall head and neck injury risk by up to 40–50% in youth and high school sports (Herman et al., Sports Medicine, 2012; Emery et al., BJSM, 2015).

While we can’t eliminate concussion risk, consistent prevention strategies make a real difference.
