Complete Concussion Management

What is Concussion Management?

Concussion management isn’t about just one type of therapy—like chiropractic, physiotherapy, or massage. It’s about delivering evidence-based, best-practice care that reduce symptoms, support recovery, and helps you return safely to school, work, sport, and daily life.

 

At Pro Function, Joseph Greenwood follows a structured concussion symptom management roadmap to guide you through every stage of recovery:

 – Reducing early symptoms and helping you understand what to expect

 – Supporting your return to school, work, or sport, step by step

 – Restoring physical function, including balance, coordination, and exercise tolerance

 – Improving cognitive and functional performance, so you feel more clear, focused, and capable

 – Helping you return to the activities you love with confidence


Dr. Joseph draws on training from respected programs including:  Complete Concussion Management, Shift Concussion Management, and Concussion Rehab Works

 

What is Concussion Management Treatment?

Treatment is designed to gradually reintroduce activity and retrain your brain and body to work together again. This may include: 

 – Postural exercises to reduce balance issues with standing and walking

 – Vestibular and visual motion exercises to help with dizziness and eye fatigue/strain

 – Functional movement with vestibular-ocular integration—a fancy way of saying “moving your head and eyes together without bringing on symptoms”

We also help take care of the paperwork by providing supporting letters to your school, employer, or medical team to make your day-to-day life easier.


What If Symptoms Last Longer?

Most people recover from a concussion within 4 weeks. If symptoms last longer, we provide targeted assessments to figure out why—and what to do next. Ongoing symptoms are often linked to:

 –  Neck or whiplash-related injuries

 – Vestibular or oculomotor (eye movement) issues

 – Autonomic dysfunction, such as difficulty with exercise or blood flow regulation


Our goal is to remove the uncertainty and give you a clearer path forward—based on what your body needs to recover.  If you have any questions about whether you or a family member could benefit from concussion management, please reach out to our downtown office (Health Care Team) at 519-601-7761 or email Joseph Greenwood (Chiropractor) directly at drjosephgreenwood@gmail.com.

Book with Brooke

If you’re an athlete, at any level, you’ll want to meet Brooke.  Brooke Edwardson’s resume and skillset with athletes is extensive, and recently she added to her resume with a Masters in Advanced Health Care Practice in Sports and Exercise Medicine (AHCP-SEM) from Western University.   While in the program,  Brooke focused on all aspects of delivering comprehensive sports medical coverage for a wide variety of venues.  Additionally, she completed research on ACL-related injuries based on playing surface types in collaboration with several sports medicine and surgical physicians.  Brooke says the experience gave her one-of-a-kind insight into the risks, prevention strategies, and  keys to post-ACL surgical rehabilitation at the highest of levels. 

Having originally graduated with a Masters of Physiotherapy from Western, Brooke has quickly developed into one fo London’s brightest and most dynamic sports physiotherapists. Brooke sees patients both on and off the field and when in clinic, she chooses to treat at Pro Function’s sports injury clinic due to the fact that the facility has 40,000 sq ft of turf and two weight-training areas which allows her to really challenge her patients as they return to activity/sport. 

Professionally, Brooke has worked in various formats with Skate Canada, the Toronto Rock, at both the Canada Games and the Ontario Summer Games, with the Toronto Triathlon, St George Rugby, Great Lake Canadians (GLC) Baseball, and right here in London as the lead physiotherapist with FC London. Additionally, Brooke works as a consultant for GM Canada and feels the physicality and endurance required with line-side work mimics many of the soft tissue injuries commonly associated with the training errors seen in athletes. 

Outside of the clinic, Brooke loves finding creative ways to stay active and is up for the challenge of trying out a new sport or skill.  She enjoys running, rock climbing, hiking, water sports, and of course soccer!  She also loves to travel and spend time with family and friends.
