  • Simon Bodenmann, striker, ZSC Lions

    “The care and support provided by the entire SCC team is unique and crucial for concussion. With the help of modern and individually tailored training programmes, I made progress straight away, and before long I was able to take part in championship activities safely and confidently once again.”

  • Cuno Wetzel, team physician, BSC Young Boys

    “Thanks to the baseline examinations provided by the Swiss Concussion Center, our situation at the start of the season is such that we can rapidly and reliably react to any potential concussion that occur over the course of the season.”

  • Alain Nef, defender FC Zurich

    “The examinations were very professional, and I received optimum treatment. It was important to me that these tests were carried out on me at the time. The data that were collected were very helpful to me after my concussion. This meant that I could return to the game without worrying and with a clear conscience that everything was 100 percent in order again.”

  • Felicien Du Bois, defender, HC Davos

    “Head injuries always involve some uncertainty. That’s why it is extremely important to me as a professional athlete to be able to count on the highly competent team at the Swiss Concussion Center”

  • Manuel Liniger, former Swiss handball player

    “Without the SCC team, I probably wouldn’t have been able to take part in a match after my accident. So I was able to enjoy the end of my career on the pitch and make a smooth transition into “normal” working life. Thank you so much for that!
    “

  • Philippe Furrer, Defender, HC Fribourg Gottéron

    “On the outside, one can see nothing of a minor concussion. The Concussion Center helped me to explain my condition and to find out exactly where the problem is. With the targeted exercises the complaints could be alleviated. After the successful therapy you feel safe again.”

  • Jörg Gyger, long-time member of the Medical Team Wacker Thun

    “The well-founded vestibular analysis as well as the incremental test provided by the SCC together with photo documentation of the therapy recommendations are very useful for me to work with the athletes in a goal-oriented manner. The straightforward and regular exchange with the SCC allows and enables me to help the athlete to return to training and competition based on above mentioned criteria”
