This April School Vacation, the Center for Sports Performance and Research will be hosting a series of Youth Injury Prevention workshops inside their space at 360 Patriot Place (located near Ulta and Trader Joes.)

Concussion Youth Injury Prevention:

Athletes who are removed from play immediately following a suspected injury return to full unrestricted participation faster (as much as 2 times faster) and have less intense symptoms on average than those who continue to play following a suspected injury. Physical therapists will educate athletes and coaches of the important considerations when a concussion is suspected. Therapists will go over red flags that need immediate emergency room care, common misconceptions of concussion diagnosis and recovery, general treatment (if no red flags and not seen by specialty clinic) and the importance of an injury prevention tools including neck strengthening, postural re-education and core strengthening.
