Concussions, Recovery, and Performance

with Neurofeedback & HRV Training

Concussions may initially appear to be mild but can have lasting effects. While some symptoms, such as headaches, nausea, or localized pain, may present immediately, other effects can emerge days, weeks, or even months later. These delayed symptoms can disrupt daily life and may include:

Focus Issues

Including trouble with concentration and feelings of brain fog

Increased Anxiety or Depression

Frequent Headaches

especially after screen time or bright light exposure

Sleep Issues

including trouble falling asleep or disrupted sleep patterns

Emotional Instability

such as heightened anger, frustration, or sadness

Concussions can occur unexpectedly, even from seemingly minor events

"It was only a bump from an elbow in a basketball game"

"It was just a small car accident"

"I looked down for a second and didn't see the cabinet door open"

Supporting Brain Recovery After a Concussion

Healing from a concussion takes time, and specialized therapies can help your brain return to optimal functioning. In addition to rest, treatments like neurofeedback and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) training offer science-backed solutions for managing symptoms and speeding recovery.

Neurofeedback works by retraining brainwave patterns disrupted by the injury. It promotes better focus, emotional regulation, and cognitive performance by helping the brain regain balance and self-regulate effectively.
HRV training complements neurofeedback by improving your nervous system's ability to manage stress, fostering emotional stability, and enhancing recovery.

If you're experiencing lingering symptoms from a concussion, it's important to know that recovery is possible. With the right care, your brain can heal, helping you return to feeling like yourself again.

Athletes and Neurofeedback: A Proven Recovery Tool

Professional athletes are increasingly turning to neurofeedback for recovery and performance enhancement. Kirk Cousins, as featured in the documentary Quarterback, and Steph Curry both incorporate neurofeedback into their routines. These athletes recognize the importance of mental clarity, focus, and emotional regulation—not only for recovering from injuries but also for achieving peak performance on and off the field.

For both athletes and non-athletes, neurofeedback offers more than just symptom relief. It builds mental resilience, sharpens focus, and restores emotional balance, allowing individuals to return not only to their baseline but often to higher levels of performance than before.

When to Consider Neurofeedback for Concussion Recovery

If symptoms like headaches, dizziness, emotional instability, or trouble focusing persist for more than two weeks, it may be time to explore neurofeedback. This approach is:

Non-invasive and painless
Customized to your brain’s specific needs
Effective for both short-term relief and long-term cognitive performance

Integrating Neurofeedback & HRV into Your Recovery Plan

At our practice, we offer a comprehensive recovery plan by combining neurofeedback with Heart Rate Variability (HRV) training. Neurofeedback helps the brain regain balance, while HRV training supports the nervous system in managing stress and enhancing emotional regulation. Together, these therapies create a holistic approach to concussion recovery, addressing both brain and body.

Your Path to Recovery and Enhanced Performance

Whether you're recovering from a recent concussion, dealing with long-lasting symptoms, or seeking to boost your mental performance, neurofeedback and HRV training provide science-backed solutions for long-term well-being. These therapies not only help you heal from brain trauma but also build resilience for whatever life throws your way.

Let us help you take the next step toward recovery, balance, and peak performance.
