Welcome to this episode of Concussion Fix Minisodes! In this bite-sized clip, we dive into the importance of steady-state cardio for those recovering from persistent concussion symptoms.
This minisode comes from the full podcast Concussion Fix Podcast - Episode 5
Join us as we discuss practical tips for maintaining a steady heart rate during exercise, even if you're not ready to jog the whole time. Our clinicians share insights on using treadmills, and exercise bikes, and how to effectively monitor your heart rate while walking and jogging.
We also touch on the significance of understanding your heart rate thresholds, the role of exercise in alleviating symptoms, and the importance of a thorough assessment before starting any exercise regimen. Plus, we answer a listener's question about hormone therapy during testing and clarify some common misconceptions.
