Reboot Concussion Recovery Healing Minds, Restoring Lives; getting you back to your best self

Proper fueling is just as important if not more important in recovery than it is during training. Just because your activity has decreased doesn’t mean you should decrease your nutritional intake. Your brain needs protein and healthy fats to aid in the healing process. Food is fuel and making sure you are providing it with the high grade optimal fuel will be beneficial in your recovery.

If your concussion symptoms last beyond 2 weeks make sure you seek help from a concussion specialist as there are treatments and options out there to help aid in your recovery beyond just rest and wait!

After the first 24-48 hours post concussion, complete rest is NOT recommended.

After the initial rest period of about 2 days, you want to slowly reintroduce both light physical activity and cognitive tasks.

It is important to utilize your symptoms as a guide. A slight increase in symptoms is ok, but after a 2-3 point increase in symptoms you want to stop and let your body rest!

Recovery is never linear and symptom flares don’t necessarily mean a setback. It is often your brain and nervous system recalibrating after increased activity or stimulus.

After being exposed to more, your brain has to learn how to respond and recalibrate. This will occur when:

- your brain and nervous system are relearning timing and tolerance to stimulus/ activity

- you’re increasing activity load, cognitive input or sensory input

- the system overshoots and then needs to adapt

Concussion recovery and Dysautonomia progress happens in waves. We can’t eliminate the waves but we train recovery between them.

When you feel like you’re experiencing the low of a wave and thinking it’s a set back, try to reframe that thinking to your system recalibrating.

Often times when I have this conversation with patients they realize that with these waves there starts to be:

- Faster recovery times

- Lower intensity of symptoms

- More consistency in the day to day

- Requires more activity and exposure to reach these symptoms exacerbations or lows

Regression is a loss of capacity.
Recalibration is temporary instability on your way to consistency and stability!

Ride the wave and soon you’ll find calmer waters!

Confused by the guidance on what to do following a concussion?

Note that in the first 24-48 hours rest is important but not total isolation.

Offload unnecessary tasks where you can, decrease screen and cognitive loads creating space and a sense of calm to allow your brain to heal.

Taking this next week off to reflect and recharge and hope you all do the same.

Crazy how one small decision can totally shape the rest of your life.

My last clinical of PT school was supposed to be in NYC but relatively last minute a new opportunity presented itself in Park City, UT. One of my college friends grew up spending time in Park City and only raved about how awesome it was. At the time, I didn’t ski and hated winter, so some of my family thought it was crazy I was moving to the mountains in the middle of winter. Looking back it was one of the best things I did both personally and professionally.

Stepping outside of my comfort zone both figuratively and literally shaped me and provided so much personal growth! Super thankful for the friendships along the way as well.

Take the risk! Go experience that new place I promise it’s worth it!

Dysautonomia doesn’t always look like being out of shape.

As a collegiate rower, I could handle intense practices and races- yet running, standing for long periods or upright activities caused dizziness, fatigue and heart rate spikes.

My fitness was there but my autonomic nervous system couldn’t keep up in gravity dependent positioning.

Athletes can be strong and still struggle with dysautonomia. To an outsider I was strong and fit and “fine” but truthfully I was just coping and luckily my sport was such that was within my capabilities but being able to run for fun with enjoyment took time, patience and work.
