mTBI Recovery Conference

I’m inspired and encouraged by attending Friday's conference on optimising concussion recovery, hosted by the brilliant team at Hobbs Rehabilitation. It proved to me that in the UK we do have the skills and capabilities for supporting genuine recovery but you have to find the people who "get it" as a multi-system, whole person, functional not structural challenge.

Recovery from persistent post concussion symptoms is possible, with the right joined-up approach to recovery! It's time we properly recognized that this bizarre collection of mysterious symptoms is the consequence of a diffuse axonal injury deep within the brain, not because you're making it up, losing your mind, "just" depressed or neurotic or hormonal or oversensitive or lazy etc etc.

So many of us have been so lost for so long, trying to work out how to get better. Not only is it an invisible condition, for many in the UK the solutions are also invisible.

Thank you Emma Jewer and team for working to change this!
