EP 39: Exercising with persistent concussion symptoms


Listen Later

Are you struggling to exercise due to persistent concussion symptoms? Does the thought of physical activity make your symptoms flare up, leaving you feeling defeated and unsure of how to move forward?

 

Many people with persistent concussion symptoms are told to "just go for a 20-minute walk every day." They try, only to end up feeling like they've been hit by a Mack truck, which discourages them from trying again.

 

Exercise can be beneficial for concussion recovery, but it needs to be approached correctly. It’s not as simple as following generic advice, especially when dealing with persistent symptoms.

 

In this episode, we dive into the nuanced approach required for safely incorporating exercise into your routine when you have persistent concussion symptoms.

 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

👉 How to start exercising without causing a symptom flare-up.

👉 The importance of choosing the right activity based on your specific symptoms and goals.

👉 Strategies for monitoring and managing your symptoms during exercise.

👉 How to gradually build up your exercise tolerance and make consistent progress.

 

Join us as we explore how to navigate the complexities of exercising with persistent concussion symptoms, ensuring you can move forward confidently and effectively on your recovery journey.
