AG - Professional Hockey (Defense, KHL)

Dr. Heisig has made it so easy to work with him from across the world. His approach to visual training has helped in so many ways, not only with vision but also brain health, athletic performance, and overall health and wellness. Coming off a concussion, my priority was improving my vision skills to ensure the brain trauma I experienced wouldn't have an impact on my game. I look forward to using the exercises and drills he has given me as a part of my warmup routine. He has given me more confidence in my game, knowing I can make quicker reads on the ice and be more comfortable shooting on all areas of the net. I'm excited for the season to start to apply the knowledge and skills he's given me.”

QK - U18 AA Hockey/NAPHL

“I was referred to Dr. Mark Heisig by my conditioning coach. My initial consultation was to assess the severity of the concussion I sustained. He explained the effects to the brain when a concussion occurs and Dr. Heisig recommended that I take some homeopathic medicines to begin the healing of my brain. He also provided me with various types of exercises for my vision, balance, stamina, headaches, sleeplessness, and other symptoms I was experiencing. I was given a heart monitor and I downloaded a phone app that would provide feedback to Dr. Heisig so we could discuss the results and progress during my next visit. I was given new exercises at each visit to continue the healing process. These exercises were helpful in improving and resolving my symptoms. My progress was slow and steady, but I appreciated that his recommendations were helping me and getting me ready to return to play.”

DL - Adult League Hockey

“I received a pretty bad concussion in a hockey tournament, in a shoot out of all places in January. I have had multiple concussions, the one I suffered this time was in my top 3. The worst being one that landed me in the hospital for over a week. I could tell this one was bad because I had never had memory problems with any of my concussions before. This particular concussion would cause me to forget where I parked my car and send me into a panic. I had seen my primary care doctor the very next day after my concussion and was prescribed a decent amount of supplements and therapies, including hyperbaric chamber therapy to help me with my concussion symptoms. My wife (a fellow Naturopathic Doctor) had found Dr. Mark on Instagram well before my concussion and suggested I consult him. About the 3rd week after my concussion, with very little change in my concussion symptoms, I reached out to Dr. Mark for some concussion specialist help. I believe that night working on the phone app he had me download I felt a change. The information that Dr. Mark had given me on treating concussions turned what I had known for treatment from my previous concussions on its head. No more sitting in the dark and resting until magically the symptoms disappear. Instead the concussion protocol Dr. Mark uses incorporates physical exercises, balancing drills and visual stimulation activities to help in my recovery. I was amazed. I do not live in Arizona and I was skeptical at first. I didn't have much faith that a telehealth visit, for a concussion, was going to help me recover from this one. I was so wrong, and so glad I was wrong. Following the diet, exercises, supplement protocol, and all the other exercises Dr. Mark prescribed made what felt like a hockey-ending head injury, into a few weeks of healthy conditioning. His help was the missing key in my recovery. I feel better now than I did before the initial concussion.”
