In this excerpt, David Brimacombe explains that a common consequence of concussion is reduced blood flow to the brain, which contributes to symptoms like brain fog. He recommends brief, gentle movement—such as two minutes of walking up and down stairs—to stimulate circulation throughout the body and specifically to the brain. This modest activity can help restore cerebral perfusion, potentially reducing fogginess and improving mental clarity for individuals recovering from post-concussion syndrome.

One of the big hallmarks of concussion and the dysregulation that comes from a concussion is the lack of blood flow. So, if we're able to move, and again, if it's only for 2 minutes, that's better than nothing. Okay, up and down the stairs, fantastic. But that's actually going to allow the blood flow throughout your body. Okay, and therefore, when you get the blood flow to the brain, you might reduce that brain fog. You might have more clarity of thought.
