Sport Concussions (part 1 of 2) - Bob Conder
The overall focus of this presentation is the use of biofeedback and neurofeedback interventions, coupled with non-pharmacologic behavioral interventions, to restore self-regulation of autonomic and central nervous system functioning placed into dysregulation by concussions and neurologic injury. Concussions can result in musculo-skeletal, vascular, autonomic and neurologic dysfunction. While many concussions are self-limiting, some become chronic, causing personal, academic and/or vocational disruption. While talking therapies can help, biofeedback and neurofeedback assessments target the critical areas of dysregulation and provide measurable intervention for maximum recovery. Many techniques can also be used for enhancing optimal performance in non-injured persons. A Biopsychosocial perspective is used for assessment and guiding treatment. Both office and home practice techniques will be presented, paired with behavioral interventions for diet, exercise and sleep. The latest in advanced research findings on sport concussions will be presented.
