Concussed Athlete or Student? A Smarter Path Back to Class and Sport

The real-world goals

  • Back to class without headaches or screen crashes
  • Back to practice without dizziness, nausea, or fatigue blowups
  • Back to life with sleep, mood, and energy in balance

Why some recoveries stall

Hidden vestibular issues and upper-cervical drivers can keep symptoms simmering. Pushing activity without addressing the mechanism invites setbacks.

Our playbook

  • Baseline & progress markers: VOR, balance, cervical endurance, symptom thresholds
  • Return-to-learn staging: graded reading/screen time, breaks, tinted lenses if needed
  • Return-to-play staging: controlled heart-rate zones, head-motion tolerance, contact readiness
  • Targeted treatment: vestibular rehab + cervical sensorimotor training; procedures when indicated

Parent/coach friendly

We provide clear, written plans and coordinate with trainers, school nurses, and therapists to keep everyone aligned.
