Post-Injury Concussion Assessment and Management

Recover Smarter. Recover Safer.

Our Process

Testing and Diagnosis
We provide thorough, research-backed testing to confirm concussion and guide your recovery plan:

• Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test (BCTT): Safely measures your exercise tolerance and autonomic nervous system health to inform your return to activity.
  The BCTT measures how your brain and body respond to controlled physical exertion after a concussion. It helps set safe exercise limits and predict your recovery timeline. Research shows that early, guided exercise based on BCTT results can speed recovery by up to 50%.

• Vestibular / Oculomotor Screening (VOMS): Identifies balance, eye movement, and motion sensitivity issues often overlooked after concussion.
  VOMS tests your balance, eye movements, and reaction to motion—systems commonly affected by concussion but often missed in routine exams. Identifying these issues early leads to more targeted, effective treatment.

• Post-Concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS): Tracks the intensity of symptoms over time, guiding treatment and return-to-activity decisions.

• Neurological and Cervical Spine Evaluation: Assesses brain and spinal health to uncover underlying factors that may impact recovery.

Treatment
Concussion symptoms often stem from more than just brain trauma.
We provide targeted manual therapy to address musculoskeletal changes such as neck stiffness, headaches, or dizziness—helping ease symptoms and speed recovery.

Management
Healing from a concussion is a process, and we’re with you at every step providing:

• Tailored exercise programs built around your BCTT results

• Nutrition and lifestyle guidance to optimise brain recovery

• Strategies to manage symptoms and rebuild resilience
