The Crucial Intersection of Neck Training and Concussion Prevention

Sports, for many, are the epitome of passion, resilience, and agility. Yet, with the highs of triumphant goals and match-winning plays come the lows of injuries, with sports-related concussions taking center stage. The sheer unpredictability and potential long-term ramifications of concussions have driven professionals and researchers to search for effective prevention methods. Among these, one promising avenue is gaining momentum: neck strengthening and training.

Improving Neck Symmetry: The Balanced Approach To Concussion Prevention


When we talk about concussion prevention, much of the conversation revolves around protective gear, rules of the game, and awareness. However, a critical and often overlooked component is the structural integrity and strength symmetry of our neck muscles. In my previous post, I discussed the importance of multi-planar neck training. Since the neck moves the head in all three planes of motion, you must strengthen the neck in all three planes of motion. Today, we’re delving into the principle of improving neck strength symmetry and how this is of paramount importance in concussion prevention...

The Sport-Related Concussion Dilemma

While helmets are essential protective gear, they don’t necessarily prevent concussions. Helmets are great for guarding against skull fractures, but they don’t always counteract the forces leading to concussions. To comprehend this, it’s important to delve into the physics behind concussions. Such injuries occur when sudden forces on the head, neck, or body lead to a rapid acceleration of the brain, brain stem, and spinal cord, resulting in damage. The equation representing this is: F = ma, where: F = Force leading to sudden acceleration of the head, neck, or body, Acceleration = Rate of change in the movement of the brain, brain stem, and spinal cord causing injury, Mass = Weight of the head. It’s noteworthy that if the force remains constant and the mass doubles, the acceleration is halved......
