Dr. Erin Reynolds

Hi! My name is Dr. Erin Reynolds and I am a Clinical Sports Neuropsychologist who specializes in treating sports-related concussions. 

Concussions have been in the spotlight for some time now, with regular media stories focused on the danger of head injury and the potential long-term effects. Unfortunately, the media doesn’t always do a great job of providing balanced stories or explaining the limitations of scientific papers. This results in fear amongst athletes and parents, with some families steering their kids away from team sports to reduce their risk of injury.

Since starting my career in sports neuropsychology, I have logged tens of thousands of face-to-face patient hours treating sports-related concussions. It is incredibly frustrating and disheartening to watch the media perpetuate the fear narrative with no discussion about the advances in treatment and the importance of active rehabilitation. It is my hope that through my clinical work, ongoing research, and use of social media, that I can spread the message that concussion is a treatable injury and that participation in youth sports greatly outweighs the risk of injury in most cases.
