Concussion Baseline Testing
Pre-injury testing designed to keep your edge sharp and your comeback strong.
Recover smarter.
Return stronger.
Get a head start on recovery with concussion baseline testing built for athletes. Using research-backed assessments, we measure cognitive skills, balance, and reaction time to create a personalized profile that guides confident recovery decisions.

Testing Options
-
Individual Athletes
One-on-one testing that works with your schedule — personalized, fast, and built to keep you game-ready.
-
For Teams & Schools
Kick off the season with confidence. Our group testing covers 8–10 athletes per hour, making it easy and efficient for entire teams to get protected.
Who Should Get Tested — And When
Baseline testing is most effective when completed before an injury occurs and updated regularly as athletes grow and develop.
-
Testing should begin around age 10 and be repeated annually. Since children and teens are still developing, frequent updates ensure results stay accurate.
-
For athletes playing more than one sport, it’s best to complete testing at the start of each season to provide the clearest benchmark for monitoring.
-
For older athletes, repeating testing every two years provides reliable data for safe return-to-play decisions.
Why Baseline Testing Matters
Concussion baseline testing is more than a formality — it’s a powerful tool to protect athletes and support safe, confident return-to-play decisions.
-
Pre-season data gives clinicians a clear benchmark, allowing them to compare post-injury results and ensure recovery is complete — not just based on symptoms.
-
Returning too soon triples the chance of a second concussion and increases the risk of other injuries. Baseline testing helps prevent rushed comebacks.
-
Athletes with baseline data and structured return-to-play plans recover more safely and often faster, avoiding long-term complications.
-
Consistent, thorough testing closes the door on intentionally underperforming (“sandbagging”), protecting the accuracy of results and the safety of every return-to-play decision.
Invest in Your Longevity
From youth to adults, baseline concussion testing protects performance today and health for years to come.
