For CEP-UK & AHCS-registered exercise professionals
Concussion is now an exercise-prescription condition. That puts it squarely in your lane.
Concussion Rehab Mastery is a structured rehab-exercise course built for clinical exercise physiologists — competency-mapped to UK practice frameworks and shipped with the clinical tools to deliver it.
Register your interestWhat changed
The 6th International Consensus (Amsterdam 2022) moved concussion from a rest condition to an exercise-prescription condition — gated on graded exercise testing and an individually derived heart-rate threshold. In the pivotal randomised trial, adolescent athletes on individualised sub-symptom-threshold exercise recovered in a median of 13 days versus 17 on placebo-like stretching (Leddy et al., JAMA Pediatrics 2019; n=103).
Deriving an HR threshold from a graded test and progressing against it is the definitional competency of a clinical exercise physiologist. What changed is not the skill — it is the indication.
Evidence base includes Leddy et al., Lancet Child & Adolescent Health 2021 and the Leddy et al. BJSM 2023 meta-analysis. Concussion Rehab Mastery is an independent course; it is not endorsed by or affiliated with CEP-UK or the AHCS.

The platform is the product
The clinical platform — unlocked by the training to run it safely.
course + first year on the platform

Renewal US$99/yrisn’t a software charge — it includes your annual concussion-update module, so it meets that year’s recurring CPD requirement and keeps the platform live.
The method is published & citable
It is a published, citable clinical protocol — A Standardised Clinical Protocol for Sub-Symptom-Threshold Aerobic Exercise Rehabilitation after Concussion (mTBI), Lewis Z. (2026), Zenodo, CC-BY-4.0 (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21482634). The SST Trainer is the tool that delivers it — graded BCTT/BCBT test → measured HR threshold → sub-symptom-threshold prescription → monitored home sessions with a measured trajectory.
Recognition status: Concussion Education Australia is pursuing AHCS Accredited Register recognition of this course through the CEP-UK route. The course has been independently reviewed by two reviewers appointed by Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA); that endorsement is pending and not yet held. We don’t claim accreditation we don’t hold — this page updates the day each is confirmed.
