Concussion: There IS Hope

Hello! Thank you for stopping by! This is launch week for Concussion: There IS Hope, a podcast bringing awe and respect for concussion survivors and their families. Whether you’ve had a concussion or not, there are insidious dangers associated with concussions that all people need to know. Did you know a second concussion on top of a first can cause immediate death? It’s this kind of information you deserve to have; every family needs to know what I’ll be sharing in the episodes to come. Concussions are everyone’s business, and that’s why I’m launching this podcast. I want everyone to stay safer than I have, suffering through my 10 concussions.

Today’s sneak peek is into the life of physical therapist Dr. Alex White, PT, DPT, CSCS. Dr. White helps individuals with a variety of orthopedic and sports medicine-related ailments in an effort for them to become whole and healthy again. He has worked with individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Dr. White then went on to obtain additional training and credentialing to better understand the multi-factorial challenges of healing from a brain injury. He had been mentored by specialized physical therapists and physicians in the management and treatment following a concussion.

In this episode Dr. White shares how affected he was in high school watching fellow athletes under social pressure getting back into the game after a concussion. His interview explores his curiosity about what happens in the brain in an injury and why he’s trying to stay on top of the most recent literature. He also shares two key components that can help people who have suffered a concussion.
