Concussions 101
In this episode of the Physiotutors podcast we talk to Molly Parker about concussions, concussion management, rehabilitation and her personal experience as a physio who’s a patient with a concussion. We discuss the dangers of concussions going undiagnosed and the drastic affect this can have on your body and ability to function. From there it’s a trip into the pathophysiology and perhaps more importantly, how imperative it is to make sure you have the right healthcare professionals involved in rehabilitation, not just physiotherapists. Also, we highlight some of the differences someone may face with an acute concussion and also with prolonged concussion symptoms. Tune in to find out more!
