Why Phoenix?

Concussion patients often describe feeling a sense of “renewal” or a return to their former self after their recovery is complete.

Lauren Ziaks, PT, DPT, ATC, NCS can understand this feeling completely. During the early days of her brain injury, she felt like everything was harder than it was supposed to be and just completing her daily tasks was exhausting. Once she was on the path to recovery, she could feel her old self returning. When she was finally back to her normal energetic self, she felt like a new person and so grateful for all the amazing things in life.

A Phoenix’s path of rising from the ashes to a big, beautiful, and strong bird is the perfect mascot for our Concussion Return to Life & Sport program.

You do not need to be knocked out to have a concussion, this only occurs in <10% of patients.
There is evidence of decreased cerebral (brain) blood flow in first 10-30days
There is a 90% re-injury rate in first 10 days with football having the greatest re-injury rate (6x all other sports)
It is estimated that 5-10% of athletes will experience a concussion in any given sport season
The most common symptoms reported immediately after a concussion are: Headache (85%) and Dizziness (70-80%)
It is possible to not have symptoms immediately – remember symptoms can be delayed up to 72 hours! Patients will describe feeling that they were coming down with an illness unaware that their concussion symptoms were starting.
No matter how far out you are from your injury, you can continue to make improvements. Never give up hope.
