FOUNDATIONS

Most clinicians encounter concussion. Few have ever been formally taught how to manage it.

That gap has consequences — for your patients, and for your confidence in the room.

Concussion 101 for Clinicians is the foundation every healthcare provider should have, regardless of discipline. You'll walk through the science of what's actually happening in the injured brain, how to recognize the full spectrum of symptoms, what the red flags are that demand immediate action, and why the old "rest until symptom-free" advice is no longer the standard of care.

Because treating concussion well starts with understanding it.

Three months post-injury. Six months. A year. And your patient is still not better.

This is the case that keeps clinicians up at night — and it's more common than anyone wants to admit.

Working with Persistent Concussion is for any healthcare provider who has a patient stuck in recovery and isn't sure why. You'll explore the mechanisms driving symptom chronicity — from central sensitization and autonomic dysregulation to psychological factors and sleep disruption — and how to think systematically about the complex case. Walk away with a framework for understanding why recovery has stalled and what the evidence says about getting it moving again.

Because "give it more time" is not a clinical plan

FOUNDATIONS

Concussion recovery rarely happens in one room — but too often, that's how we treat it.

When providers work in silos, patients fall through the gaps, get conflicting advice, and burn out long before they get better.

Integrated Care Model: Referrals and Interdisciplinary Teamwork is a practical guide to building and navigating a multidisciplinary concussion team. You'll explore the unique role each discipline brings to recovery — from physiotherapy and chiropractic to vision therapy, SLP, clinical counselling, and beyond — and learn how to weave those contributions into a coherent, patient-centred plan. You'll work through how to recognize the edges of your own scope, make timely and targeted referrals, troubleshoot when clinical opinions collide, and avoid the appointment overload that leaves patients more overwhelmed than supported.

Because great concussion care isn't about doing more — it's about knowing who does what, and making it all work together.

Your student is back at school. But their brain isn't ready.

And without the right support, the classroom itself becomes part of the problem.

Concussion in the Classroom is designed for educators, school counsellors, and school-based practitioners who work with students navigating recovery. You'll learn how concussion affects learning, attention, memory, and behaviour — and why it often looks like something else entirely. Walk away with practical, evidence-informed accommodation strategies you can implement immediately to help students recover without falling behind.

Because the classroom should be part of the solution — not another source of symptom provocation.

Is it the concussion — or is it their mental health? The honest answer is: it's usually both.

And treating one without understanding the other is leaving your patient half-helped.

The Mental Health Overlap is built for psychologists, counsellors, social workers, and mental health practitioners working with concussion survivors. You'll explore the bidirectional relationship between brain injury and mental health — how concussion can trigger, mimic, or amplify anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and how pre-existing mental health conditions shape recovery trajectories. Walk away with a clearer clinical lens and the language to collaborate confidently with the rest of the care team.

Because the brain that's healing is the same brain managing everything else.

The athlete wants to play. The parent wants answers. And you're the one in the middle.

That conversation only goes well if you know what you're talking about.

Concussion & the Athlete is for coaches, athletic therapists, sport medicine practitioners, and anyone working sideline or field-side with competitive athletes. You'll cover recognition and initial response, the evidence behind return-to-sport protocols, how to navigate the pressure to clear an athlete too soon, and what the research actually says about repetitive head impacts and long-term brain health. Walk away with the knowledge and the language to make confident, defensible decisions.

Because getting it wrong isn't just a clinical risk — it's a human one.

You're often the first person a concussion patient sees. What happens in that appointment matters more than you think.

The words you use, the advice you give, and the referrals you make in those first days can shape the entire recovery trajectory.

Concussion for GPs & Nurses is designed for primary care providers on the front lines of concussion management. You'll learn how to conduct a confident initial assessment, what to say and what to avoid in those critical early conversations, how to identify who needs urgent referral and who needs a clear recovery roadmap, and how to coordinate care across a multidisciplinary team. Walk away with practical tools you can use in your very next appointment.

Because primary care isn't just the first stop — it's often where recovery is made or missed.

Your patient looked great last session. Today they can barely tolerate the assessment.

Same person. Same protocol. Completely different result — and you're not sure why.

Autonomic First is a deep-dive into the autonomic nervous system as the variable most clinicians are missing in concussion rehab. You’ll learn that Autonomic Assessment is so much more than the Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test - and how to look deeper into this fundamental system. You'll learn to read nervous system state in real time, understand how it shapes what's possible in any given session, and use that information to sequence your treatment more effectively. Walk away with a practical framework for making clinical decisions that work with the nervous system — not against it.

Because you can't rehabilitate a brain that doesn't feel safe.

Why does your patient's symptoms improve on some days — and fall apart on others?

The answer might not be what you think at all.

This workshop explores the autonomic nervous system as the hidden variable in concussion recovery — and why nervous system state directly shapes what's possible in recovery. You'll learn to recognize whether your patient is regulated, mobilized, or shut down, and how to adjust your clinical approach accordingly.

Learn to differentiate true limitation from state-dependent variability, apply graded exposure and pendulation within your sessions, and use the Push → Pause → Progress framework to guide rehabilitation that actually sticks.

Because the nervous system sets the ceiling. It's time we start working with it.

ACADEMY SPECIALIST

Your patient is doing everything right. Sleeping better, exercising, following the plan. And they still feel terrible.

Hormones might be the missing piece nobody has talked to them about yet.

The Hormonal Connection explores one of the most underrecognized variables in concussion recovery — how brain injury disrupts the hormonal systems that regulate energy, mood, cognition, sleep, and stress response. You'll build a foundational understanding of the neuroendocrine impacts of concussion, learn to recognize the clinical signs that hormones may be a driving factor, and walk away with practical guidance you can confidently share with your clients.

Because recovery stalls for a reason — and sometimes that reason is hormonal.

What you eat after a concussion isn't a lifestyle choice — it's a clinical variable.

Yet most clinicians feel underprepared to have the nutrition conversation, leaving a critical gap in the recovery plan.

Fueling Recovery with Dr. Jacque Moser bridges the space between nutritional science and concussion rehabilitation. You'll explore how key nutrients, inflammation, and metabolic demand intersect with the recovering brain — and walk away with practical, evidence-informed tools you can confidently bring into your next session.

No nutrition degree required. Just a willingness to treat the whole person.

Because what's happening at the table is influencing what's happening in the clinic.

Your patient's vision complaints aren't going away — and exercises alone aren't always the answer.

Most clinicians can identify a visual deficit after concussion. Far fewer know what to do next, how far to take it, and — critically — when to step back and refer out.

Fundamentals of Vision Therapy After Concussion with Dr. Paul Rollette maps the full landscape of visual rehabilitation: the key domains, the clinical gold worth knowing, and the decision-making framework that tells you when you're the right person for the job and when someone else is.

Walk away knowing what's yours to treat — and what isn't.

Your concussion patient's symptoms aren't just in their head — they're in how their whole body is holding itself together.

And the pelvis, core, and neck are often the first place that integration breaks down.

Pelvis · Core · Neck explores the structural foundation of concussion rehabilitation — the anatomy, the theory, and the clinical application of pelvic, core, and cervical integration. Grounded in Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization, you'll learn to assess alignment, strength, and activation across all three regions, identify common pathological patterns, and build a systematic treatment approach that progresses from diaphragm mechanics and pelvic floor activation through to neck positioning, strengthening, and functional progressions.

Because you can't fully rehabilitate the concussed brain without addressing the body it lives in.
