Amped Physiotherapy is a proud clinic of the Complete Concussions Partnership Program – a network of clinics around the world offering evidence-based concussion care.
From initial pre-season baseline testing to concussion treatment and rehabilitation, as partnered CCMI practitioners, we collaborate with family doctors, coaches, teachers and caregivers to help you manage your concussion and enable a safe return to learn, work and play.
Stephanie, Danny and Spencer are eager to help you prepare for your season with baseline testing, treat your concussion, or get you back to doing what you love.
A concussion is a brain injury, caused by rapid movement of the brain within the skull. This can be caused by an impact to the head or to the body.
This impact causes chemical changes within the brain cells, resulting in decreased blood flow and a temporary decrease in energy within the brain. Symptoms may include loss of consciousness, headache, pressure in the head, neck pain, nausea, vomiting, dizziness or balance problems, among others.

Through the Complete Concussions program, Amped Physiotherapy offers a variety of concussion treatments, services and strategies. These including:
During the early stage following injury, a period of relative symptom-limited physical and cognitive rest is recommended. Research suggests 24-48 hours, however, these decisions are made on a case-by-case basis.
Following a short period of rest, the International Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport (2016) recommends a gradual increase in mental and physical activity supervised by a licensed healthcare practitioner trained in concussion management. As certified Complete Concussions clinicians, Stephanie, Simon and Emma have completed extensive professional training in safe and research-supported return to mental and physical activity.
Multimodal pre-season testing is a series of physical and cognitive tests that provide a pre-injury overview of healthy brain function. These tests can offer healthcare practitioners with an objective benchmark on which to compare, should a patient sustain a concussion. It is important to remember that not all baseline testing is created equal. Complete Concussions has selected the best evidence-based tools available to provide you with comprehensive, multimodal, proven baseline testing.
As concussion symptoms often resolve days to weeks before the brain has fully recovered, having valuable baseline information may help practitioners to make safer return to play decisions.

Please note that our clinic is on the second floor of Amped Sports Lab and Ice Complex. We have a transitional space on the main floor for people who are recovering from an injury that means they cannot do stairs temporarily. The transitional space is not wheelchair accessible and does not have the exercise space needed to allow for the full Amped Physiotherapy treatment approach. If you require a fully-accessible treatment space, we would be happy to direct you to accessible clinics in the area.
