This two-day course aims to help those already working within the sports concussion field to
develop their understanding of the pathophysiology and systemic effects of mild
traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The course focuses on optimising recovery post-
concussion diagnosis, exploring the wide range of assessment and treatment skills
needed to enhance patient recovery across multiple domains; autonomic, visual, vestibular,
cervicogenic, cognitive, fatigue and psychological. This course has been developed with elite athletes in mind, giving clinicians the tools to tailor treatment to a wide variety of sports.
