Welcome back to the Concussion Coach Podcast! Today, I am thrilled to introduce you to a fellow occupational therapist who is deeply passionate about supporting individuals struggling with post-concussion syndrome. Meet Shelley Latendresse, a registered and practicing occupational therapist from Tsawwassen, BC, Canada. With a background specializing in neurological health, she has extensive experience in neurodevelopment, brain injuries, and sensory and reflex integration. Shelley is also a certified yoga instructor with a focus on nervous system management and injury recovery. In this episode, Shelley shares her personal experience with multiple concussions, the challenges of recovery, and how it ultimately shaped her approach as a therapist. We discuss everything from brain fog and nervous system regulation to tools like red light therapy and PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy. Shelley's journey is both eye-opening and inspiring, offering valuable insights into the realities of concussion recovery.
