How the Complete Concussion Management program at The Right Move Physiotherapy and Health Management Inc. works
Our CCMI-trained staff registered physiotherapist, Ian A.

What is a concussion?
A concussion is a brain injury caused by acceleration or deceleration of the brain within the skull following a significant impact to the head or elsewhere on the body. The impact causes a biochemical imbalance within the brain cells, resulting in decreased blood flow and temporary energy deficits within the brain. Symptoms may include loss of consciousness, headache, pressure in the head, neck pain, nausea or vomiting, dizziness, or balance problems, sensitivity to light or noise, sleep disturbances, changes in mood, difficulty with concentration, among others.
Concussion Treatment
Multimodal Baseline Testing
Multimodal baseline testing is a series of physical and cognitive tests that provides a pre-injury overview of healthy brain function. These tests can offer healthcare practitioners with an objective benchmark on which to compare should a patient sustain a concussion.
As concussion symptoms often disappear days to weeks before the brain has recovered, having valuable baseline information may help practitioners to make safer return to play decisions.
Call 613 384 3222 or email admin@rightmovept.com to book your baseline test with Ian Gilchrist at The Right Move Physiotherapy and Health Management.
