People with Passion can change the world for the better.

Hi, I'm Becky Bliss

This is my Story

Hi, I’m Becky Bliss!  I’m a Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Kansas Medical Center in the Department of Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation Science, and Athletic Training, and I’ve been immersed in neurological rehabilitation for over two decades.

Since 2006, I’ve dedicated much of my clinical and academic work to concussion management. I’m board-certified in Neurological Physical Therapy, hold both a Certificate and Advanced Certificate in Vestibular Rehabilitation through the APTA, and currently serve as the Program Coordinator for the University of Missouri’s Neurological Physical Therapy Residency. I’m also actively involved in national efforts to improve concussion care through the Academy of Neurological Physical Therapy and the APTA’s Concussion Clinical Practice Guideline Committees.

What drives me is a deep passion for translating the best available evidence into real-world clinical care—making research meaningful by improving outcomes for people recovering from concussion and other neurological injuries. I also mentor clinicians nationwide through the Missouri Telehealth Network’s Concussion ECHO program, where I help others strengthen their clinical reasoning and confidence in this evolving area of care.

Through this course, I hope to share not only the foundational knowledge, but also the nuanced, practical insights that help clinicians see what others might miss. Whether you're new to concussion management or looking to refine your approach, I’m excited to support your learning journey and ultimately help more patients get the care they deserve.
