Healthcare For Concussion Recovery

Welcome to our fellow healthcare providers!

We are happy to help support you and your patients in the recovery process from mTBI / concussion.

Please view the following video for a quick overview of our site.

The table of contents below will guide you to the crucial sections of the site to answer questions specifically for your patients.

The exercise portal was developed to help your patients follow a progressive Return to Life & Sport exercise program.

The site will tell them everything they need to know: – one phase per day, do not to advance if symptoms increase during or after exercise, and most importantly – to exercise in some capacity every day.
Have your patients simply watch our video on the progression page and sign up.

For the provider looking to learn more about concussion rehabilitation, you can now earn CEUs (PT) for our new module based learning courses. Content is appropriate for PT, ATC, and even MDs would benefit from our patient evaluation and dysautonomia modules!

If your clinic has multiple providers interested in our courses please reach out to phoenixconcussion@gmail.com to learn more about our clinic discount program.

Continuing Education Opportunities

Brain Body Integration - built from primitive reflex integration treatment models

We are happy to announce that Phoenix can now support online, CEU approved education! navigate to our Integrative Concussion Management Program to learn more. Attendees will also receive a certificate in Primitive Reflex Integration Therapy from Phoenix Concussion.

Lauren and her colleague Chelsea created this treatment paradigm in Park City, UT. In 2021 the first ever article introducing Primitive Reflex Integration Therapy was published in IJAHSP.

We were able to publish the full ZINC protocol, inclusive of the Brain Body Integration protocol, in 2024. The article is available open access to improve dissemination.

Visuo-Vestibular Rehabilitation for Concussion m/TBI

We are happy to announce the addition of our advanced practice vision and vestibular rehabilitation continuing education course. Approved for 6.25CEUs through Arizona. This course builds off the foundational knowledge learned in the Integrative Concussion Management Program. Course 1 is required for participation in Course 2.

Attendees will also receive a certificate in the ZINC Protocol from Phoenix Concussion.

Our ZINC protocol was published open access in 2024.

Autonomic Dysfunction "dysautonomia" Course

The next step in the continuing education platform will be a deep dive into dysautonomia. For now, Lauren is focusing on presentations at the local and national level until she is able to direct her time towards a virtual format. Please stay tuned, her goal is to release phase 3 in early 2025.

Early Education

Providing early treatment recommendations including supplements, Return to Learn, school/work accommodations and blue light filters can help keep an acute injury from becoming chronic.

Acute Interventions

This section details early therapy options including: manual physical therapy, vertigo treatments for dizziness, and craniosacral therapy. Early intervention can improve recovery times for your patients.

Protracted Recovery

More advanced treatment options for continued symptoms after 3 weeks including vision therapy, vestibular rehabilitation therapy, speech language pathology interventions for cognitive function and memory, and exercise intolerance.

Vision therapy for headaches, difficulty with computer use/reading, poor endurance with work/school related tasks.

Benefits of vestibular therapy for patients with acute symptoms – vertigo or for chronic dizziness or activity intolerance.

Watch this video for a brief overview on the best practice recommendations for the first 24-48hrs. If a patient is further out but hasn’t been doing anything for recovery – we would still recommend starting here!

Watch this video to learn more about our Return to Life and Sport Exercise Portal. We created this standardized, progressive exercise program to guide your patients on daily activity between visits. Our hopes are to improve overall concussion recovery, decrease the negative effects of deconditioning, and help to solve the problem of ambiguity in the return to sport process.

Our program is based off the latest research and utilizes self -guided scales such as the RPE scale to tailor the level of effort to each patient. A “Completion Certificate” at the end of Phase 5 can be saved and brought to your clinic for proof that the patient completed their required steps – helping to limit liability for your practice.

For a very detailed walk-thru on how exactly you can use this site to enhance your practice please watch this video.

Please refer to our Join Us page to discuss options to integrate Phoenix in your practice.

We are hoping to support you and your patients in any way possible. Please feel free to contact us at: phoenixconcussion@gmail.com if you have any more questions or would like to discuss further how we can work together.
