What shows up in this gym
Landing on a planted foot after a full or a basket toss is the classic ankle. Bases take repeated wrist and shoulder load. Flyers get low-back extension stress. Anyone in the stunt group can take a blow to the head. We treat those as sports medicine: exam, loading, and a return-to-mat plan - not a week of rest and a hope.
Parents in Algonquin, Huntley, and West Dundee already use this clinic for youth athletic training and concussion baselines. Cheer is the same door.
When should a cheerleader get a concussion baseline?
Before the season if you can. After a hit we compare cognition, balance, neck, and visual-vestibular signs to that file.
