"With cutting edge services, testing and proper rehabilitative therapies, we can reasonably eliminate any long term damage from concussions." Dr. Ryan Glynn
LWYS strives to make the best information and resources available for the safety of our athletes. We take concussions very seriously and are proud of our relationship with Dr. Ryan Glynn, D.C. who has a focus in functional neurologic rehabilitation. The more we learn as an organization and as parents the more prepared we are to respond appropriately when injuries happen. Success happens when we do the following:
1. Properly evaluate the athlete prior to an injury (a baseline)
2. Reevaluate when an injury happens
3. Implement therapies
4. Return to play when no evidence of injury remains
LWYS requires baseline testing for all athletes 12 and older
Baseline testing is available for all athletes 8 and older
Testing is done on your phone or tablet in the comfort of your home
