Pivot Sports Performance Officially Recommended by the Northern Football Netball League (NFNL) for Concussion Management

Player safety is more important than ever in community sport — and the Northern Football Netball League (NFNL) has made a strong move to support that mission by officially recommending Pivot Sports Performance in Bundoora as one of three preferred concussion clinics for players.

We’re proud to be recognised as a trusted provider of evidence-based concussion care, aligning closely with AFL concussion guidelines and protocols to ensure athletes receive the best possible support from injury to safe return-to-play.

Why the NFNL Chose Pivot Sports Performance

As a leading sports physiotherapy and rehabilitation clinic in Melbourne’s north-east, Pivot Sports Performance has built a strong reputation in concussion management. Our clinic:

• ✅ Specialises in concussion screening and rehabilitation

• ✅ Partners with Complete Concussion Management Inc. (CCMI) for global-standardised protocols

• ✅ Provides comprehensive return-to-sport testing using industry-best tools

• ✅ Offers vestibular therapy, cervical spine care, and neurocognitive assessments

• ✅ Educates athletes and clubs on concussion recovery and safety

Concussion Care That Goes Beyond Symptoms

While symptoms from a concussion may settle within a few days, the neurological healing process can take 21–28 days. During this window, the brain is highly vulnerable, and returning to sport too soon can significantly increase the risk of long-term damage.

That’s why our approach includes:

• 🧪 Exertion testing to determine return-to-play readiness

• 🎯 Balance, vestibular & cervical assessments

• 🧠 Cognitive screening and rehabilitation

• 🥗 Nutritional advice to support brain recovery

• 🧾 Education for players, coaches, and families

• 🏥 Collaboration with local GPs and sports doctors to provide complete care
