BASELINE IMPACT TEST
The baseline ImPACT™ test is a neurocognitive, computer-based test that measures an athlete’s verbal and visual memory, processing speed, and reaction time. In the event that an athlete does sustain a concussion, this is a very useful tool for physicians to use in determining when it is safe for that athlete to return to sports. Team rates are also available.
IDEAL FOR:
Athletes in sports with heightened risks for concussion including football, soccer, hockey, basketball, and other contact and collision sports.
This assessment is 60 minutes and encompasses a full concussion prevention evaluation including clinical measurements involving neck range of motion, neck and core strength, and balance testing. An individualized prescription of appropriate injury prevention exercises will also be provided.

8 SESSIONS: $300
CONCUSSION RETURN-TO-PLAY PROGRAM
IDEAL FOR:
Athletes who have suffered a concussion and have been cleared by a physician to return to their sport.
Our clinical testing is derived from evidence-based research to monitor and assess an individual’s post-concussion recovery and symptoms. Beginning with light aerobic activities, the athlete will slowly be introduced to sport-specific exercises and drills as their symptoms and exercise tolerance improves. The progression is dictated by a clinical symptom questionnaire along with bike and/or treadmill assessments carefully monitoring the athlete’s weekly progression with special attention to safety until symptoms are no longer reported. Each session is 45 minutes.
CONCUSSION PREVENTION TRAINING
These training sessions complement our Concussion Prevention Assessment and focus primarily on range of motion and strength exercises of the neck and core, balance, and proprioception training, as well as task-related skills that can practically be applied to sport. Each session is 30 minutes.
In addition to the programs offered above, you can learn more about concussions, how to recognize if you have one, and what to do if you get one. Dr. Michael O’Brien, director of the Sports Concussion Clinic at Boston Children’s Hospital, explains in this video.
