S P O T L I G H T O N : CONCUSSION MANAGEMENT What is a concussion? A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that can alter the way the brain functions. Concussions can occur from direct or indirect impact to the skull or brain. What is the most common misconception about concussions? A big misconception is that a concussion only occurs as a result of a direct blow to the head. Something like a car crash or a football tackle. In reality, a concussion may be caused by a direct blow to the head, face, neck, or elsewhere on the body if the force of the impact is transmitted to the head. It’s important for athletes, parents and coaches to understand that multiple small impacts can cause one to occur. When athletes and parents understand that a concussion can begin from multiple smaller impacts, they start taking note of those during games and practices which helps with early recognition. Why is it so important to have a program specific to concussion management? A concussion is a bruise on your brain. It affects a person’s performance in any environment. Our programaddresses both these areas andmonitors the patient’s symptoms so that they are not returning to either before their brain can handle it. How can a physical therapist help? Physical therapists can evaluate and treat many problems related to concussion. Because no 2 concussions are the same, a physical therapist will examine your neurological, orthopedic, and cardiovascular systems in order to best prescribe a routine to address your particular symptoms and your needs in all of your daily environments.
INGREDIENTS • 1 cup quick oats • 1/2 cup peanut butter • 1 Tbsp. ground flax seed
• 2 Tbsp. wheat germ • 1/3 cup honey • 1/2 mini chocolate chips

Place mixture in refrigerator for about 15 minutes, or until chilled enough to roll into balls without being too sticky. When chilled and not as sticky, roll into balls and place on a piece of parchment paper on a plate and place in refrigerator, until set.
