The Injured Brain – Concussion Workshop
by Scott Harris
Description
The problem we have in society today is that there is very limited information that we know about the big ‘C’ word, CONCUSSION. What we do know is that if the right care is not taken following a hit to the head, the recovery can be prolonged for weeks, months and sometimes even years. Sports Related Concussion (SRC) is the leading cause of concussion worldwide. The fact is that a concussion is a form of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) as a result of a blow to the head and must be treated right. Scott is living proof that the right treatment after a TBI can go a very long way. After Scott woke from a coma, he was taken to the experts, Epworth Rehabilitation, where he spent three years learning how to recover properly. This workshop is great for ANYONE that wants to recover safely after yourself or your child has a concussion – Parents, teachers, coaches and sporting clubs.
