In this concise YouTube monologue, David Brimacombe reflects on his futile search for a single, dramatic solution—such as cryotherapy—to accelerate post‑concussion syndrome (PCS) recovery. He explains that without solid foundational habits, any flashy technique falls short. Brimacombe then outlines his adopted approach: improve by 1 % each day and introduce one new recovery habit per week. He advocates using a week‑long A/B test to evaluate each habit’s impact, exemplified by adding breathwork for one week, then removing it the next to compare how he feels. The core message is that small, systematic changes, measured over short cycles, can produce monumental progress in PCS healing.

So, I'll lose that breathwork and then I'll see how I feel from the week doing breathwork to the week that I'm not going to do it at all. Now, the benefit of this is that it's showing you that small things can have monumental
