You know that really popular excuse of "but I just don't have time to do my rehab work..." I call Bull! If your recovery really matters to you, you will find the time. Kieran here, is a full time student and competitive soccer player. He travels 5 hours most weekends to practice with one of his teams and has local practices and gyms training during the week. You want to talk about busy schedule? This kid knows what busy is! Yet he also understands that in order to get better and perform at his best, he NEEDS to put in the work. As much as we healthcare providers would love to be able to wave our magic hands over you and poof you're all better....it doesn't quite work like that... The majority of recovery falls back on you the client. We provide you with the tools and then it's up to you to take it from there. So let's stop with the excuses and the frustration towards your healthcare providers when you don't do the homework they give you and yet expect to see drastic improvements right away. And with the new year fast approaching, maybe let's try and put a little extra focus into prioritizing our bodies and our health.

I can't stress this point enough - mouth guards physically can NOT prevent a concussion!! . A concussion is defined as a traumatic brain injury induced by biomechanical forces. It may be caused by a direct blow to the head, face, neck or elsewhere on the body with an impulsive force transmitted to the head. . In other words, any force that causes your brain to suddenly shake and bash against the inside of your skull can cause a concussion. You do not even need to physically hit your head in order to receive a concussion! . Keeping this is mind, let's think about whether a mouth guard can stop the brain from hitting the inside of the skull after receiving some sort of blow? NOPE! . Be smart, do your research, and don't buy into the latest fads claiming to protect your kids from concussions. http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2017/04/26/bjsports-2017-097699
