In Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Julia Treleaven PhD, BPhty, FACP, we go beyond the structural contributions of the cervical spine and explore the often-overlooked psychosocial factors that impact concussion recovery. We discuss how fear avoidance, catastrophizing, and missed cervical spine involvement can lead to persistent post-concussion symptoms and delayed progress. 🩻 Dr. Treleaven shares insights on the role of manual therapy, sensorimotor training, and the importance of individualized, interdisciplinary care. We also reflect on her experience teaching inside Concussion Corner Academy®, including what stood out about our students’ clinical reasoning and the power of collaborative learning. 😵‍💫 We also tackle common clinical oversights in concussion care, such as failing to differentiate between vestibular and cervicogenic dizziness or relying too heavily on passive rest. Dr. Treleaven walks us through practical strategies for differential diagnosis and explains how early, targeted cervical interventions can significantly improve patient outcomes. 🌎 Whether you’re a PT, OT, ATC, OD, or MD, this episode offers a compelling reminder that comprehensive concussion care must include a clear understanding of the cervical spine. 🎓 Ready to dive deeper?
