What clinicians have to say about the Athlete Brain Rx :

“The Athletes Brain course was a fantastic learning experience. It is more than knowledge and protocols, you learn about how to integrate your own experience and clinical intuition to build an operating system that is both fluid and specific, so that you are able to create new solutions to target the problems you encounter.”

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

I've already taken a previous concussion/vestibular certification, what makes CNS-Education courses different?

We are highly-trained PhD-clinicians in our respective areas of expertise! Learn from clinicians who've committed to learning the complexities of neuroscience, sensorimotor control, and motor learning, and how they can connect to assessment and rehabilitation. We have also been trained at the university-level for teaching to deliver high calibre content, provide a variety of engaging resources, and modern strategies to enhance the learning experience.

We are not a cookie-cutter platform! Our goal is to build confidence in clinicians to understand the key fundamentals (not just reciting protocols), allowing for flexibility and creativity within a comprehensive rehabilitation framework.

If I'm not a clinician, is there a course option for me?

We are working on more options for health and movement professionals! You can follow us on instagram for a ton of free content @thriveneurosport and @allinyourheadpt.

Stay tuned for updates on new courses in 2023!

Can I arrange a small group to do a private Athlete Brain Rehab course within my private clinic, university/college, or sports organization?

Yes! We'd be happy to discuss the potential for small groups of at least five (5) clinician learners/students. Keep in mind we are also practising clinicians and academics so our schedules may vary. Please contact us to inquire about availability for booking a course.

*This may also an option for international learners in different time zones as either in-person or online.
