Introduction to Concussion is an online course designed to help manual therapy practitioners understand how concussion impacts the brain, nervous system, cervical spine, and overall function — and how hands-on clinicians can safely fit into concussion management.

This course focuses on foundational knowledge and clinical clarity, covering key concepts such as concussion mechanisms, red flags, neck–eye–balance relationships, and how manual therapy and movement can be integrated responsibly within a multidisciplinary approach.

Whether you’re seeing post-concussion clients already or want to build confidence working with these cases, this course gives you a clear, practical starting point.

✔ Understand what a concussion is — and what it isn’t
✔ Recognize red flags and referral considerations
✔ Learn how cervical spine and vestibular systems relate to symptoms
✔ Clarify the role of manual therapy in concussion care

Some patterns in the body don’t come from injury alone they come from experience, emotion, and lived history.

SomaSofia Therapy, taught by Elias Abdel-Ahad, is a transformative certification program that explores why we move the way we do, how trauma and emotion are stored in fascia, and how the nervous system and subtle anatomy shape posture, movement, and pain.

This training is designed for manual practitioners who want to go beyond techniques and learn how to work with the whole human being, body, nervous system, and deeper organizing forces.

Through a blend of manual osteopathy, psychosomatic therapy, fascia dynamics, and anthroposophical principles, SomaSofia introduces gentle, non-force techniques using levity, suction, and subtle touch, along with a deeper way of listening through palpation.

✔ Work safely with psychosomatic and emotional patterns
✔ Understand fascia as a carrier of lived experience
✔ Expand clinical intuition and trauma-informed care
✔ Integrate subtle anatomy into hands-on practice

Take a deep breath. Right now.

Did your shoulders move up towards your ears?

If they did, you just uncovered a major clue about your stress levels and nervous system. It’s not just "bad posture".

🚦 What’s Really Happening?

When your shoulders rise, it means your primary breathing muscle—the diaphragm—is taking a back seat.

Instead, your smaller neck and shoulder muscles (your scalenes and upper traps) are doing the heavy lifting. This is called apical (or upper chest) breathing, and it's your body's emergency-mode breathing.

Living in this pattern means your body is constantly acting like it's in a low-grade "fight or flight" state.

The Hidden Domino Effect

This isn't just about tight muscles. An underactive diaphragm sets off a chain reaction:

Constant Neck & Shoulder Tension: Those overworking muscles get tired and painful.

Nagging Headaches: Often stem directly from that chronic neck tension.

Anxiety & Brain Fog: Shallow breathing tells your brain to stay on high alert, making it hard to relax and think clearly.

Poor Recovery: Your diaphragm is a major pump for lymphatic fluid (your body's waste removal system). Less pump = slower recovery.

You can get massages and stretch all day, but if you don't fix the pattern, the tension will always come back.

✅ The 30-Second Reset

Ready to retrain your body? Try this anywhere, anytime.

Place one hand on your chest and the other on your belly.

Breathe in slowly through your nose. Focus on making your bottom hand (on your belly) rise first. The top hand should stay relatively still.

Exhale slowly through your mouth, feeling your belly fall.

Repeat for 5-10 breaths.

This simple act starts teaching your diaphragm to be the leader again, signaling safety to your entire nervous system.
