This presentation will explore the key anatomical structures and systems potentially affected by a concussion as addressed in complementary alternative therapies. Direct or indirect impact, whiplash, repetitive impacts can lead to mobility restrictions of the head, neck and thorax. These restrictions can greatly influence many concussion related symptoms and influence a person's quality of life. We will discuss how to integrate manual therapy into the concussion care team, as well as which therapies can be used for different structures. The session will include a demonstration of key cranial techniques used in osteopathy.
