👀 We caught Shifty sneaking off with a visual fixation stick… apparently he wanted to “test his elf-level eye skills.” (He scored very highly in candy-cane tracking.)

Did you know that over 50% of people with concussion experience some form of functional vision change — especially with eye teaming, eye movements, or visual endurance.

These changes can cause symptoms like:
- Blurry or unstable vision when reading
- Eye strain or fatigue
- Headaches
- Trouble with screens
- Feeling “off” or dizzy when tracking moving objects

What’s surprising?
👉 Clarity of vision (eg. 20/20 eyesight) often stays the same.
So this part of your regular eye exam may look “fine,” even when functional vision skills still need rehabilitation.

Targeted therapy can help retrain these systems when issues persist — even Shifty approves.

🎁 Look who arrived at the clinic just in time for December…
Meet Shifty, our official North Pole Rehab Elf!

Straight from the North Pole Department of Jolly Well-Being, Shifty was sent by Santa to bring a little magic (and just the right amount of mischief) to our clinic this holiday season.

✨ He’ll be exploring every corner of the clinic — testing equipment, cheering on patients, and keeping an eye on good rehab habits.

✨ Throughout December, Shifty will also share bite-sized concussion education to help keep our community informed, empowered, and supported in recovery.

We can’t wait for you to see what he gets up to next! 🎅🧠✨

🧠 Myth or Fact?
“Concussions affect kids and adults the same way.”

❌ Myth: Children and adolescents recover just like adults.
✅ Fact: Young brains are still developing, which can change how symptoms show up and how long recovery takes.

Kids and teens are often more sensitive to cognitive fatigue, school demands, and symptom flare-ups. While many will recover within 4 weeks, it’s not uncommon for recovery to take longer—especially with high academic loads, repeat injuries, or delayed access to care.

That’s why return-to-school and return-to-play plans should always be age-appropriate and individualized.

Key Takeaway:
Children and adolescents need tailored concussion care, close monitoring, and the right supports to recover safely.

🧠 Concussion injuries: Understanding the Whole-Body Impact...

Neck, spine, jaw, and shoulder injuries often occur alongside a concussion — especially after a fall, car accident, or sports impact. These injuries can overlap with and heighten concussion symptoms, contributing to ongoing issues like headache, dizziness, balance changes, visual strain, sleep discomfort, and mental fatigue.

That’s why effective recovery requires a plan that looks at the whole picture — not just the head. Healthcare providers with specialized training in concussion management are equipped to assess and address the multiple factors contributing to the full range of symptoms.

💡 Research shows:

Early assessment and targeted, multimodal rehabilitation can speed recovery and reduce symptoms. Exercises are tailored to each patient and focus on eye-head coordination, balance, spatial awareness, postural training and aerobic exercise.

Key Takeaway:

Persistent dizziness or balance issues aren’t just “in your head”—they’re a treatable part of concussion recovery.

🧠 Did You Know?

Up to 70% of people experience sleep difficulties after a concussion. Sleep can be disrupted by a combination of internal brain changes and external factors:

Internal: neurometabolic and physiological changes in the brain that affect sleep regulation

External: pain and headaches, stress and mood changes, or altered daily routines

💡 Tips to Improve Sleep After Concussion:

Maintain a consistent sleep schedule

Keep your bedroom dark, quiet, and cool

Limit screens and bright lights before bed

Avoid caffeine and heavy meals close to bedtime

Consult a Shift-Trained Provider if sleep problems persist

Key Takeaway: Good sleep isn’t just rest—it’s essential for brain recovery. Addressing both internal and external factors can make a real difference in your recovery timeline.

Concussion FAQ

Q: Can you tell if I have a concussion with a CT or MRI scan?

A: No. Standard brain imaging often appears normal after a concussion.

Why:
Concussions are functional brain injuries. They affect how your brain works, not necessarily how it looks on standard scans.

What matters:
- A thorough clinical assessment by a trained healthcare provider
- Symptom monitoring (headache, dizziness, fatigue, light/noise sensitivity)
- Guided rehabilitation and safe return-to-activity plans

Key Takeaway:
Even if a scan looks “normal,” persistent symptoms should never be ignored. Early recognition and care are essential for safe recovery.

Our Story

Shift Concussion Management is a widely recognized education platform dedicated to raising the standard of care for concussion rehabilitation. Shift offers training to Health Care Practitioners and Physicians on assessment and management strategies, based on the most current and evidence-based literature and clinical expertise.

What started as a small introductory course in Ontario, Canada, has now gained nation and world-wide attention, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity for international expansion. The core value of our company is rooted in the quality of patient care and we feel this is pivotal in what makes our approach to post-concussion management successful. The structure of our program is based around a multifaceted concept, with several important pillars for the complete management of concussion: education, interdisciplinary collaboration, objective assessment markers, and individualized rehabilitation strategies. By helping clinicians develop critical thinking skills through interactive and engaging case reviews, we encourage an approach to concussion management that eliminates reliance on a set “protocol”, allowing the clinician to take their knowledge and treat the patient as a whole with individualized care strategies. Through the growth and expansion of our program, our education model has evolved to encompass two streams of training: Level 1 and Level 2.

Shift wholeheartedly believes that with the right education and management strategies in place, we can deliver successful patient outcomes to all individuals following concussion injuries. We look forward to having the opportunity to engage and introduce Clinicians and patients to our approach.
