Concussion Nerds
Mentorship. Community. Curriculum.
Concussion Nerds is a three-pillared program designed to deepen your understanding so you can confidently assess and treat concussion – helping you create life changing moments for your clients.
By the end of the program you’ll be able to confidently offer concussion treatment in your clinic. You’ll have a deeper understanding of how best to assess and treat your clients —creating a meaningful impact in their lives, sooner.
For patients, finding an amazing concussion health provider is hard. Not only can finding an expert in your area be difficult, but patients are faced with concussion myths even from healthcare providers. They have to advocate and educate. Often, they’re tired of struggling and feeling unheard.
Treating concussions effectively takes more than what you learned in physio school or a weekend course. It’s more than understanding physiology, assigning home programs, and checking in once a week. It takes confidence working in grey zones, admitting when we don’t have all the answers, and maintaining our own personal mental health and space.
Introducing Concussion Nerds, a program that:
Gives clinicians the skills and confidence to have a greater impact, sooner.
Teaches a multi-systems approach to client care.
Helps professionals create clinical environments that promote connection and safety.
Provides support for the clinicians themselves, and reminds them to prioritize their own health and wellness.
Provides more guidance for working through the multi-faceted nature of concussion injuries, from acute to chronic.
Who It’s For
Concussion Nerds is for clinicians who:
Haven't forgotten why they went into healthcare and want to make a difference in clients’ lives.
Are passionate about treating concussion.
Value deepening their understanding, communication, and collaboration.
Are open to something different and aren’t afraid to leave their comfort zone.
Concussion Nerds is not for clinicians who are:
Dabblers or clinicians who just want to add “another service” to their clinic.
Black and white thinkers who just want to follow a checklist approach to treatment.
People who think they know it all already and aren’t open to collaboration.
Three Pillars
The program has three pillars, designed to deepen your understanding so you can confidently assess and treat concussion – helping you create life changing moments for your clients.
Mentorship
Access to someone as passionate as you who wants you to succeed.
Ability to ask questions, dig deeper, get support, and observe.
Someone who will challenge you and cheer you on.
Someone who is practicing, working with clients from throughout North America, and continuing to learn and grow.
This was an important part of my own growth as a clinician.
Community
An online space away from the distractions of social media.
A place to surround yourself with people who support you and cheer you on.
A space to learn from each other.
A place to have deeper conversations and to be curious without worrying about fear of judgment.
Live mini-training sessions each week about holistic approaches to concussion rehab and self-care.
Access to videos of past office hours, extra master and mini-classes.
Multidisciplinary community (physical therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, neuro-optometry, athletic therapy, massage) where we pool our knowledge and collaborate instead of compete.
Core Curriculum

Creates depth of understanding of the multi-systems assessment and treatment approach. Builds confidence in clinical skills.

What People Are Saying…
“Joining Concussion Nerds was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. There is a self paced didactic portion that goes into more depth than any other concussion or vestibular course I have taken to date. It’s highly evidence based…. and what’s even better is the live call portion. I’ve learned so much and have changed my practice for the better.”
“I’m still on a high from last Thursday’s clinical call! That was so informative and helpful! I’m celebrating being part of this group.”
“Joining Concussion Nerds has been a game changer for me! No other course even scratches the surface of what we’ve learned from you.”
“Your digression on visual assessment was brilliant. It’s a level of clinical thinking about vision that is really exciting and I can tell as I get more comfortable with that I have many patients I will be able to serve better, not just concussion. ”
