Good breathing is vital for recovery, particularly when you have suffered a concussion. Proper breathing ensures optimal oxygen supply to the brain and body, promoting healing. It reduces stress, manages pain, and improves sleep quality, all of which aid in the recovery process. Additionally, it helps alleviate muscle tension and cognitive issues often associated with concussions, fostering an environment conducive to healing.
It’s not uncommon for people to suffer disrupted breathing or being incapable of controlling their breathing despite not having suffered a serious injury (like concussion).
We can still work with you in these circumstances and apply the same sorts of techniques to help you regain control and reduce stress.
