Heading in the right direction?

Recognise, remove, record and refer. These four guiding principles now define how head injuries in sport are addressed. From mandatory stand-downs in sporting codes to the critical early stages of diagnosis, Australian osteopath Cliff Butler and New Zealand’s Neil Holmes share a passion for player welfare in this engaging podcast.

Their commitment to advancing post-concussion care is evident as they explore the unique role osteopaths play in identifying, treating, managing, and referring patients with concussion.

Across both sides of the Tasman, Cliff and Neil unpack resources such as the ANZ Concussion Guidelines, digital apps, and sport-specific policies, all of which are empowering practitioners to deliver better outcomes and, above all, prioritise player safety in the management of concussion and related head injuries.

Part 2 is coming in 2026
