EP 10: [Acute Concussion] How to begin exercise after a concussion


Listen Later

Curious about the safest way to start aerobic exercise following an acute concussion?

After a concussion, knowing how to start exercising can be confusing. Many people are left in the dark about what exercises to do, how intense they should be, and when to start.

The lack of guidance and structure in post-concussion exercise programs can lead to frustration and confusion. Pushing too hard (or doing nothing) can exacerbate symptoms, hindering the recovery process and leaving individuals feeling helpless.

In this episode, you'll learn:

👉 The importance of aerobic exercise in the recovery process after a concussion.

👉 How to choose the right type of aerobic activity based on your symptoms and comfort level.

👉 A step-by-step protocol for introducing aerobic exercise, including heart rate targets and progression.

👉 How to recognize signs of progress and when to adjust your exercise routine for optimal recovery.

Remember, the journey to recovery after a concussion is unique for everyone, but understanding the right way to reintroduce aerobic activity can make a significant difference.
