Amazing Free Resources Educate Parents and Coaches To Spot Concussion.

In this episode we talk through the basics of concussion and we take a look at two fantastic free resources for medical professionals and non-medically trained people to help them be more aware of concussion, how to identify, and how to deal with a potentially concussed player, and when they should call the emergency services.  It's estimated that 1/3 sports related concussions go unreported for a number of reasons. One of which is no doubt the lack of understanding around what concussion is and how it presents.  We run through the Concussion Recognition Tool 5 to give you non-medically trained individuals a better chance of knowing what to look for, and have a process in place at your local sports club to reduce the risk of a persons life being adversely affected due to a missed concussion diagnosis.  Yes, most concussions resolve within days to weeks, but some are sp badly effected by symptoms both physically and emotionally that they have taken their own lives. This is devastating, and the family often say that if one person had identified the possibility of concussion, perhaps their loved one would still be here today.  If this episode helps educate one person, who helps one person..... then i'll sleep well knowing a good job is done.  Share this episode and please feel free to contact me if you'd like to discuss things further, i'm here to help in any way I can. Let's start the conversation and see if we can make some positive changes.    SCAT5 LINK  CRT5   https://youtube.com/channel/UCQXAka99a6MdZexeEJaMZbA https://m.facebook.com/elevatehealthuk https://www.elevatehealthuk.com/ https://instagram.com/elevate_healthuk?utm_medium=copy_link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRB6hF2zauI - How Chiropractic Works.    ABOUT THE HOST TOM BUTTERFIELD I have always been interested in sports, unfortunately injuries and poor training decisions curtailed my dream of becoming a professional football player.
