R2P™ Advanced Management of Post-Concussion Syndrome Saskatoon 2018

Sunday March 25, 2018 from 08:30 AM to 04:30 PM

Saskatoon, CA

Thank you for your interest in the R2P™ Advanced Management of Post-Concussion Syndrome Saskatoon 2018. However at this time, registration for this event has closed.

Event Details

This full day course builds upon R2P SCORE™.  Key principles of progressive overload within sub-threshold activity levels will guide the selection of criteria-based treatment progressions using R2P PATH™.  Participants will learn innovative rehabilitative techniques such as advanced vestibular, and ocular motor exercises, and how to apply them within the framework of international guidelines.  Common co-pathologies will be discussed in the context of post-concussion, with a focus on post-traumatic headache, depression, and anxiety.  Strategies for differential diagnosis will be explored using a series of unique algorithms.

Prerequisite:  R2P™ Management of Post Concussion Syndrome

Course Outline

8:30 Review R2P SCORE™ as a determinant of treatment priorities and clinical care pathways using case studies.

9:00 Common co-pathologies seen in complex concussion patients, including post-traumatic headache, depression and anxiety; current treatment options, including commonly prescribed medications.

10:30 Comprehensive history taking; evidence-based algorithm to differentially diagnose post-traumatic headache and apply best practice treatment.

11:00 Introduction to R2P PATH™; understand how to prescribe criteria-based step-wise treatment progressions based on individual functional limitations.

11:30 Lunch

12:30 Advanced therapeutic exercise for vestibular and balance dysfunction; stepwise treatment progressions; practical session

1:30 Advanced therapeutic exercises for ocular motor dysfunction; stepwise treatment progressions; practical session

2:30 Practical application of R2P PATH™ using principles of symptom-based limitations to prescribe individual treatment plans integrating graduated physical activity with vestibular, visual and cognitive challenges using sub-threshold exercises.

3:30 Case studies with individualized treatment prescriptions.

4:00 Questions and Answers.

Contact The Host


Jacquie has over 20 years of experience working with individuals from a recreational level to Olympic athletes.  During more than fifteen years of clinical and on-field experience at the University of Toronto with the concussion clinic and research staff, Jacquie treated a high volume of complex concussion patients, with a focus on return to play using a continuum of care that included preseason questionnaires, acute on-field assessment of injured athletes, management of acute and chronic symptoms, and return to play exercise progressions. As well, she completed her vestibular competency training at Emory University.  She has been a clinical instructor at the University of Toronto, Department of Physical Therapy, and past chair of the Sport Physiotherapy Canada (SPC), Ontario. Her doctoral research focused on the development of the Concussion Recovery Questionnaire (CORE-Q), a functional status outcome measure for individuals with persistent post-concussion symptoms.  Her work seeks to measure the impact of concussion in order to inform clinical management based on patient priorities.  She is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario investigatinng the impact of concussion on children.
