Pioneering Cognitive Medicine in Australian Rules Football
Our Philosophy
The Brain & Cognition Clinic (BCC) has originated from a rich pedigree which is the Perth Integrated Health Group spanning some 43 years in medical / health care.
In operations now for three years. The BCC is at the forefront not only in Australia but globally in Cognitive Medicine where its application in the rapid rehabilitation principles in Neurological conditions now sees its equally rapid application in Performance Sports.
Think Cycling, Ballet & Dance, Cricket, Formula and Racing as well as Aussie Rules and the pathway for potential performance in Cognition which controls everything else is very clear. After all, its is logical that an Australian based company focuses Cognitive Medicine in one of the greatest of Australia sports: AFL.
Here at the Brain & Cognition Clinic, we have identified what AFL player requirements are and for those who are involved in our active program have developed many of these essential qualities:
- Reaction Time improvement.
- Better Eye Hand coordination.
- Increased multi-tasking skills.
- Improved depth perception.
- Better sequencing and categorization of tasks and processes.
- Faster speed outcomes.
- Safer judgement calls when in the footy field
- Improved memory skills and abilities.
As we are also from inception based in Perth, Western Australia, we have forged the first step of alliances here in the West with none other that the Subiaco Football Club which has a rich history of heritage and also past premiership caliber.
The BCC together with the Subiaco Football Club intends to create history through the high performance indices in Cognitive Medicine through its player cohort as well have already worked over the past few months with a select number of their players with amazing good outcomes.
