Ever wondered how to stay healthy and prevent injuries during the off-season? Without the proper return to sport programming, future injury is more likely. Through our personalized plans, we help ensure you return safely, and we also teach preventative care to help limit injury going forward, like this helpful tip:

After any break in activity level, you should plan to start training again at a lower level than where you previously were. This means easing back into workouts with fewer reps, lighter resistance, or a shorter workout duration initially.

REALITY: About 90% of concussions do not result in loss of consciousness.

"Concussion" refers to a temporary, impact-related disruption of normal brain function, but most often this results in specific symptoms and not a total loss of consciousness. Common symptoms of a concussion include:

Headache or "pressure" in the head
Nausea/vomiting
Balance problems or dizziness
Double or blurry vision
Sensitivity to light or noise
Feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy, or groggy
Concentration or memory problems
Confusion
Let's spread the word: a concussion is a real brain injury that requires proper attention and care. Ignoring the symptoms or 'walking it off' can lead to serious consequences down the road. If you or someone you know experiences these symptoms after a head injury, don't hesitate to reach out - we can help.
