Concussion management solutions

Providing schools, clubs and individuals with pathway management for suspected concussive injuries. Our dedicated healthcare team provide baseline, re-test and rehabilitation services, individualised to the needs of our clients.

  • "Over the past three years, working with Tom and his team has been invaluable. Their expertise in concussion assessment, along with their individualised guidance on return-to-play and return-to-learn, has significantly enhanced the quality of care we provide to our students."

    Mr Paul Livesey - Director of Sport, The Edinburgh Academy

  • Tom , very kindly, talked to us and our daughter at a point when we were all starting to become anxious about concussion aftermath that seemed to be endless. He was calm, extremely knowledgeable and very personable. He has a down to earth approach and suggested several alternative pathways to recovery, giving a teenager a feeling of autonomy and choice over their next steps, and optimism about a good outcome.

  • "I've only worked with Tom and his team over the past year, but it's clear that the students and players are always their top priority. They go out of their way to support both staff and students, and the level of care they provide around concussion management and assessments, is outstanding."

    Mr John Hardie - Director of Rugby, The Edinburgh Academy

  • Below you will find more details on the expert services that we provide. Our packages provide year round concussion management cover and support. Use the drop down menus to find out more.

  • Our services include baseline cognitive and functional data collection using gold standard objective tests to improve head injury detection in contact sports.

    We also implement and monitor a more specific and graded return to regular activity and sport based on exertional heart rate testing post-head injury. This allows us to identify students who will struggle more than others post-concussion, and minimise the complications that might arise in these scenarios.

    The concussion management service provides on-call physiotherapy cover for cognitive function and balance assessment in a suspected head injury, as well as support with rehabilitation and graded return-to-play.

    The full package includes:

    •    Baseline testing (SCAT6), with concussion education and advice.

    •    A suspected injury re-test (SCAT6/SCOAT6) with a report generated.

    •    1:1 support with graded return to the classroom setting and sport (including individualised recommendations for temporary allowances made in academic and home settings based on cognitive testing results).

    •    Exertional and sports-specific safety testing prior to returning to play with a repeated   SCAT6/SCOAT6.

    •    Liaison with school staff and medical professionals throughout as standard.

    •    Email/ phone call support throughout the process.

    These services have been developed and designed based on the most recent clinical evidence, and they come with a guarantee to always deliver the most up-to-date and evidence-based care in youth concussion injuries.

    This package costs £289.00 for the full season.

  • Our follow up sessions are priced per the hour, and will include further suspected injury re-tests, rehabilitation and further support with graded-return-to-play. These are available exclusively for those signed up to our management package.

As demand for our services grew, we needed to expand to reach more clients and support a growing number of individuals to manage their pitch-side injuries. TM Physiotherapy has been trading since 2019, offering highly specialised physiotherapy services to patients in the Edinburgh regions. Now we are proud to specialise in the large scale management and support of youth athletes who sustain concussive injuries. Our vision is to improve the healthcare journey for every individual who sustains a concussion.
