Today, concussion prevention stands at the forefront of sports science, primarily due to the devastating effects of concussion injuries on young athletes and the concerns surrounding their long-term brain health. One proactive and increasingly recognized approach to minimize the risks of concussions is targeted neck training. As we dive into the principles of neck training for concussion risk mitigation in this blog series, the first principle is the significance of adopting a full multi-planar approach to neck strengthening....read more
Improving Neck Symmetry: The Balanced Approach To Concussion Prevention
When we talk about concussion prevention, much of the conversation revolves around protective gear, rules of the game, and awareness. However, a critical and often overlooked component is the structural integrity and strength symmetry of our neck muscles. In my previous post, I discussed the importance of multi-planar neck training. Since the neck moves the head in all three planes of motion, you must strengthen the neck in all three planes of motion. Today, we’re delving into the principle of improving neck strength symmetry and how this is of paramount importance in concussion prevention.....read more
