On March 12th: Concussion 101 Workshop at Five Seasons Northbrook

For years, concussions were known in some medical circles as the “silent epidemic.”

But recently, the silence has given way to heightened awareness and on Thursday, March 12th, Five Seasons Family Sports Club in Northbrook will be contributing to the discussion with a free workshop, “Concussion 101,” presented by David Bookstaff of SportsBrain.

From 4 to 7 p.m., he and colleagues will be on hand to share their knowledge with members and guests of the club at 1300 Techny Road. Among the topics they will discuss are the side effects that doctors look for when they suspect a child has suffered a concussion.

Based in Chicago, SportsBrain provides comprehensive baseline concussion testing and concussion management programs for youth, high school, college and professional sports organizations.

In addition, SportsBrain is providing discounted concussion tests—which measure an individual’s “baseline” brain health in the event of an injury. To register for a test, visit http://www.sportsbrain.com/fiveseasons.
