The realm of concussion prevention is vast, often focusing on tangible elements like protective gear or training regimens. However, with this blog series, we are focusing on the role the neck plays in mitigating the risk of concussion. We have covered several aspects so far including: a full multi-planar approach, neck strength symmetry and targeting the eccentric capacity of the muscles. Today we will explore another often understated component that plays a pivotal role in safeguarding our brains: the neuromuscular control and proprioception of the neck. In this piece, we’re unravelling the mysteries behind these terms and their significance in concussion prevention…..read full blog
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
