The Swiss Strength & Conditioning Association (SSCA) has chosen “Return to Performance” as the central theme for its 2025 workshop—an evidence-based approach for returning to sport, from rehabilitation to peak performance. BrainCare was represented by Dr. Michael Graber as speaker and panelist at this exciting event.
Neurological Expertise Meets Performance Optimization
Michael Graber, a specialist in neurology with expertise in concussion management, presented his talk “Opportunities of Neurological Training: From Concussion to Peak Performance” at the workshop. The theoretical session created an essential bridge between neurology, rehabilitation, and performance optimization—the expertise that distinguishes BrainCare.

Why Neurological Training Makes the Difference
The return-to-performance phase is one of the most critical phases in an athlete’s career. This is where the importance of a holistic approach becomes evident—one that understands neurological aspects not as a side issue, but as a central success factor.
At BrainCare, we understand that safe and successful return to sport requires more than just the absence of symptoms. It’s about:
- Evidence-based evaluation and rehabilitation
- Individual return-to-sport protocols
- Optimizing neurological functions for peak performance
- Safe reintegration into training and competition
