Why Exercise Makes Your Concussion Symptoms WORSE? - Dr. Mark Explains

[@foxc8646]

Thank you for explaining these aspects together in only 10mins

[@drmarkheisig]

Thank you for the kind recognition - this can get messy and tangled haha

[@catherineorourke0321]

Great explanation! I have PCS and PPPD but slowly, getting back to walking. Literally just finished a hike and was feeling horrible and found your video. Always appreciate the way you explain things thank you!

[@Mary-ym9cn]

Well Dr Mark since most of us are in the throws of a brain injury, please try speaking a little slower. Speaking is to impart new information. When someone speaks as fast as they possibly can, kinda defeats the purpose.

[@drmarkheisig]

Thank you for your feedback, Mary-I can see how speaking too quickly might be frustrating, especially during recovery. I do my best to share helpful information for free, but I understand it may not always be perfect for everyone. If it helps, KZbin has a playback speed feature (⚙️) that lets you slow down the video to a pace that works best for you. If you’d like more personalized support, I also offer Concussion Recovery Consults: www.drheisig.com/appointments. Wishing you the best in your recovery!

​@drmarkheisig it wasn't that fast, can tell which side of the Mason Dixon line Mary is from...

I had pcs from an mvc , 3 months in a CN you make a video talking slower explain

[@drmarkheisig]

Thanks for the feedback, Mary Kate. I do my best to keep my pace clear, but if it feels too fast, KZbin’s playback settings allow you to slow the video down to a pace that works best for you. Just click the gear icon (⚙️) and select your preferred speed. If you’re looking for more structured guidance on PCS recovery, check out my Concussion Reset Program: www.drheisig.com/courses. Wishing you the best on your recovery!

Does cervical injury cause visual vertigo?

[@drmarkheisig]

Yes - cervicogenic dizziness can present as vertigo or worsen vertigo in some folks.

Sub symptom exercise is still king?

[@drmarkheisig]

Yep. Sub-symptom aerobic exercise is included in the rehab plan for EACH phenotype/flavor of concussion and PCS. It helps improve nearly every target metric of concussion recovery. Love it or hate it - exercise is medicine.

[@Wds__99]

I love it. That’s exactly what I want to hear. :)
