We are part of the Your Brain Health Community, a network of providers aiming to deliver a higher standard of evidence-based concussion care globally. Your Brain Health have assisted and guided the creation of our assessment and rehabilitation protocols. We follow Your Brain Health guidelines for baseline assessment and their team is able to assist us when baseline screening large groups such as for schools or sports clubs.

Baseline Concussion Screenings

Baseline concussion screenings are a vital part of our approach. These screenings, which include brain health history, vestibular ocular motor screenings, balance and reaction time assessments, allow us to establish a starting point for your brain health. This baseline makes it easier for us to reassess, assisting with the diagnosis and appropriate management of concussions.

Why Baseline Testing Matters

Baseline testing is important because it provides us with a snapshot of your brain health before any injury occurs. This allows us to compare your current status to your baseline, allowing for more sensitive analysis of any deficits or dysfunctions that may be present post-injury. This leads to more targeted rehabilitation and the ability to track you back to your healthy baseline, leading to improved decisions in regards to return-to-play and return-to-learn. Targeted rehabilitation also leads to quicker recovery and improved outcomes. 

Comprehensive Concussion Assessments

Concussions can affect multiple body systems, which is why our clinic provides comprehensive assessments that accurately identify these areas. Our assessments are multimodal, meaning that we look at a variety of factors to ensure that we understand the full extent of your injury.
