According to Brain Injury Canada approximately 200,000 Canadians suffer a concussion each year. While 80 per cent of people recover from a concussion, up to 20 percent can suffer from what’s known as persistent concussion symptoms.
People are often told to rest after a concussion diagnosis and while rest is important, getting back to activity is as important for recovery. But how do you safely start activity or support someone after concussion? On this episode of the DocTalks Podcast, host Ian Gillespie talks to Dr. Heather MacKenzie a physiatrist in the Acquired Brain Injury Program and St. Joseph’s Health Care London’s Parkwood Institute. She is an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of concussions, and rehabilitation therapies to help those who are suffering from persistent concussion syndrome.
