In this video, David Brimacombe shares his personal journey of surviving seven concussions over twenty years and explains that effective recovery from post‑concussion syndrome (PCS) hinges on having a strong, purpose‑driven "why." He argues that when the why is weak, symptoms act as stop signs that halt progress; when the why is strong, those same symptoms become useful information that guides recovery. Brimacombe warns against the common habit of obsessively hunting for the newest supplements, protocols, therapies, or specialists—often via Reddit, Facebook, or YouTube—before establishing a clear purpose. While becoming educated is valuable, he stresses that education must be anchored by a defined recovery goal to avoid endless, unproductive information‑chasing.

Hi, my name is David Bremacolm, and after seven concussions over twenty years, I learned that you need to start with a why for your recovery before you obsess over the how and the what. Now, most people with persistent. Post-concussion symptoms. They are constantly asking questions like, what do I need, need to do to get better?

All that is well and good— becoming informed, becoming educated in creating certain protocols and systems that will help you recover. It's all well and good.
