In this brief video, David Brimacombe explains that post‑concussion syndrome (PCS) depletes a person’s energy not only on a physical level but also mentally, exhausting the nervous system. He argues that the typical advice to “push harder” or increase motivation is ineffective; instead, recovery hinges on reducing the number of decisions a person must make, thereby lightening cognitive load and allowing the nervous system to recuperate.
