Concussions can happen in sport, but how do you know if you have one and what happens when you do? This week, Sonya sat down with Adam Luu, an orthopedic, concussion and vestibular physiotherapist to talk about what you need to know about concussions.
Adam has a Masters of Science degree in Physical Therapy from McMaster University, followed by a fellowship with the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physical Therapy. He is a certified concussion therapist - certified in several concussion management protocols like ITPT and Shift. His training in ITPT means he can administer and interpret the ImPACT test, which is a neurocognitive assessment tool that is the standardized assessment tool of North America’s top professional sports leagues. The Shift concussion management system is the Canadian-founded concussion management strategy.
Adam also has a certification in vestibular therapy, instrument-assisted soft tissue release, nervous system assessment and treatment and bracing/proprioceptive taping.
He is also Sonya’s physiotherapist!
