CONCUSSION PROTOCOL - HEAD TRACKING

Pre-Routine Notes

⏱️ 20 min⚡ Equipment: Power Puck

📝 Phase II focuses on improving the connection between the head, eyes and the brain to keep vision steady while the head is moving.

🔄This routine improves eye control, reaction time, and visual awareness, which are crucial for returning safely to hockey after a concussion. Players learn to strengthen visual tracking, reduce eye strain, and improve coordination between their eyes, brain, and body.

⚠️ Precautions
Stop and take a break if you’re feeling dizzy or lightheaded. Resume only when symptoms resolve. You may also notice balance challenges with your eye movements. This is normal and demonstrates how your vision and balance are connected.
