Dr. Kathryn Schneider

Kathryn Schneider is an Associate Professor and Clinician Scientist (Physiotherapist) at the Sport Injury Prevention Research Centre, Faculty of Kinesiology at the ݮƵ. Her research focuses on the prevention, detection and treatment of sport-related concussion. Her work has identified a large treatment effect using multimodal physiotherapy and vestibular rehabilitation, significant changes in cervical spine function following concussion in youth ice hockey players (2018 JOSPT Excellence in Research Award) and identified symptoms of dizziness, neck pain and headaches as risk factors for concussion in youth. Shealso led the development of a Massive Open Online Course on Concussion at the ݮƵ in collaboration with her colleague Dr. Pierre Fremont (Universite Laval) which has engaged over 12,000 participants in the first two iterations of the course.

Kathryn is a Clinical Specialist in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy, a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapists and has expertise and certification in vestibular rehabilitation. She was recognized by Avenue Magazine as “Top 40 Under 40” in 2012 and was the recipient of the Vestibular Disorders Association (VEDA) Champion of Vestibular Medicine Award in 2015. She has been involved as an Expert Panelist and lead author for systematic reviews evaluating the effects of treatment at the 4th, 5th and 6th International Consensus Conferences on Concussion in Sport, and Scientific Committee member and lead for the methodology informing the 5th and 6th International Consensus Conferences on Concussion in Sport ().

Invited speaking highlights include the 4th, 5thand as co-chair of the upcoming 6thInternational Consensus Conferences on Concussion in Sport, International Olympic Committee (IOC) medical meetings at the Sochi, Rio and PyeongChang Olympic games, and many additional International and National sport meetings. Her clinical practice focuses on the treatment of recreational to elite/professional athletes with ongoing symptoms following sport-related concussion. Over the past 10+ years, she has worked with many local, provincial and national sport organizations and health care teams to develop and implement evidence-based concussion protocols and processes.
