Greetings Stunt Community !
As promised, here is the information you need to sign up for our "Concussion Education & Facility Tours" at Fortius Sport & Health.
For those of you who were not in attendance at our Stunt Community Meeting last night, your Stunt Committee has been working on a relationship with a new, cutting edge, high performance medical facility that can take care of all your rehabilitation and training needs. The facility houses physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, nutritionists, kinesiologists, hydrotherapy, sports med physicians, optometrists, physiologists, orthopaedic surgeons, strength & conditioning coaches and many other top notch specialists that are some of the best in North America. Fortius Sport & Health also has a state of the art Concussion Management Program that offers extensive Baseline Testing, diagnosis, treatment and management for concussions.
Concussion Educational Sessions for our Stunt Community will include:
1) A brief introduction and explanation about the Fortius facility and what it can do for our members.
2) A 1 hour Concussion Education Session that will cover Baseline Testing, concussion symptom recognition and some management protocol.
3) The opportunity to tour the facility so you can see for yourself the possibilities that are there for you for rehabilitation, training goals and injury preventative.
These are FREE courses that are sponsored by ACTSAFE, UBCP and are endorsed by the BC STUNT COMMITTEE.
We have 2 dates for the education sessions. THURS. NOV. 27th 7:00 PM & TUES. DEC. 2nd 7:00 PM.
Both sessions are the same - so no need to sign up for both events.
We are encouraging every stunt performer, stunt coordinator and stunt rigger to attend one of these sessions.
In addition, we will be inviting UBCP dancers, members of the 'Live Performance Community" and members of the DGC to attend the Concussion Education Sessions in our efforts to increase awareness and educate as many people as possible.
