In this segment, David Brimacombe outlines a practical pacing strategy for individuals recovering from post-concussion syndrome (PCS). He advises first rating current symptoms on a 1‑to‑10 scale (1 = minimal, 10 = severe) before beginning any activity. Using the baseline score, he sets a clear stop rule: if symptoms rise by three or more points during the activity (e.g., from 3 to 6 or higher), the person should cease the activity immediately. This method provides a quantifiable, self‑monitoring tool to prevent overexertion and support gradual recovery.
