Concussion Management Workshop: Level 1 & 2

LEVEL 1 – Sat Dec 6th

The course will run via live webinar from 10:00 am -6:00 pm EST. 

Individuals with concussion and persistent symptoms after concussion are increasingly seeking treatment to assist in their recovery. There is improved evidence informed information and guidelines about treatment of acute concussion but treatment of individuals with persistent symptoms remains challenging. This course will focus on comprehensive management of concussion for the acute and persistent patient population including exercise, vision, vestibular treatment ideas, guidance return to activity and concrete strategies for symptom management.  It will include a review of the most recently published Sport Concussion Consensus Guidelines and the new diagnostic criteria for mild traumatic brain injury. Rehab professionals will have a better understanding of why patients have persistent symptoms post-concussion and be given practical knowledge and tools they need to immediately implement assessment and treatment strategies into their clinical practice and improve outcomes for their patients.

The course will run in person and via live webinar from 9:00 am -5:00 pm Atlantic Time.
