Concussion

Concussions or Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), are an on-going issue in sport and activity. There are many misconceptions as to what a TBI is, how quickly different individuals recover, and a number of other issues. Dr Charles Tator and his Think First organization are working to improve the prevention and management of TBI in sport. It is a very good site for information relating to TBI. Think First

Exciting news

I am trying to re-start the blog.
Our exciting news relates to Laura Sylvah, our Football Therapist, being hired on a one year, full time contract. This will improve access to our clinical services over the spring term as well as the winter 2012 term.
I hope to update the blog on a weekly basis and include current topics in the news as they relate to varsity athletics, therapy, etc.
Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions in terms of topics.
