Sports injury and concussion care
An athlete who has suffered a concussion/brain injury or other sports injuries may face various challenges including continuous pain; loss of mobility/agility/strength/range of motion; and psychological effects such as drop in self-esteem, depression, anxiety, mood swing, and fear of reinjury. They may also experience cognitive impairment and/or deterioration which includes weakened focus and concentration, memory, learning and retention, self-regulation, speech and language, information processing speed, reasoning, planning, and/or problem-solving speed and ability.
​
At the Effectus Performance Lab, we are here to help you recover from your injury, rebuild their capacity, and safely return to doing what they love best.
Pre concussion baseline assessment
At the Effectus Sports Performance Lab, you will also receive a thorough concussion baseline test to measure where you currently are at and track your progress as you develop through the Effectus Sports Performance Lab.
​
We utilize concussion baseline tools such as the Neurotrakcer basline assessment which provides an accurate baseline of where your cognitive functioning is at. We then use the the SCAT5 (Sport Concussion Assessment Tool) which evaluates is you have sustined a consussion.
​
post concussion brain injury care
Impacts to the head can cause athletes to suffer from cognitive impairments including memory loss, psychological changes, including increased impulsivity and aggression, sensitivity to light, and negative effects on the field or at home.
​
Our partner NeuroMed utilizes technology called MeRT (Magnetic Resonance Therapy) to treat concussions and the effects that come with them. MeRT is pain-free and non-invasive. To learn more about MeRT, please contact us.
OTHER SPORTS INJURY CARE
Post injury, one of the main aspects an athlete focuses on is how to get their body back to where it was before so they can play again. Often times, physiotherapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists will be involved. We have partnered with MVMT physio and chiro to provide the best overall treatment experience for you post-injury.
MVMT Physio & Chiro’s licensed physiotherapists focus to help you get back to your optimum health. They analyze your situation to find accurate treatment protocol according to your unique needs using dynamic physio technologies along with our evidence-based techniques.
