Objective Physiological Data to Support Clinical Decision‑Making
The Precision Recovery Lab provides comprehensive autonomic, metabolic, and cardiopulmonary assessments designed to support clinicians managing complex recovery cases. Our testing identifies physiological thresholds that are not detectable through routine clinical examination, enabling more accurate exercise prescription, pacing strategies, and rehabilitation planning.
Clinical Indications
Our assessments are appropriate for patients presenting with:
- Concussion and post‑concussion syndrome
- Dysautonomia, including POTS
- Long COVID and post‑viral fatigue
- Chronic pain and central sensitization
- Unexplained exercise intolerance
- Autonomic overactivation or poor recovery profiles
- Athletic overtraining or performance plateau
Assessment Components
- Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Profiling: Evaluation of autonomic balance and recovery capacity.
- Autonomic Stress Response Testing: Characterization of sympathetic activation and vagal efficiency.
- VO₂, VCO₂, and Ventilatory Threshold Analysis: Determination of aerobic and anaerobic thresholds for precise exercise dosing.
- Metabolic Efficiency Assessment: Measurement of fuel utilization and energy system performance.
- Sub‑Symptom Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing: Identification of symptom‑onset thresholds for safe rehabilitation progression.
- Cervical and Biomechanical Evaluation: Particularly relevant for concussion‑related dizziness and cervicogenic symptoms.
Clinical Utility
Our reports provide:
-
- Quantitative autonomic and metabolic markers
- Individualized heart‑rate–based training zones
- Recovery curves and stress‑response profiles
- Interpretation of ventilatory thresholds
- Recommendations for rehabilitation progression
- Optional consultation with our specialist for complex cases
Referral Process
Referrals may be submitted directly via secure email. Following assessment, clinicians receive a comprehensive report outlining findings, clinical implications, and suggested rehabilitation parameters. Collaborative care is available upon request.
Lab Director
Dr. Nicholas Moser, DC, FCCS(C), PhD, leads the Precision Recovery Lab. His doctoral work at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute (KITE) focused on autonomic recovery using advanced neuroimaging and cardiopulmonary testing. His research supports individualized physiological profiling as a means to improve rehabilitation outcomes.
