The Body Knows

Most people think a concussion comes from a hit on the head — but concussions can begin as early as birth, and each one adds to the ones before it. In this episode I walk through the many ways concussions happen, what concussive force actually does to the brain, the long list of symptoms it can create, and the story of a high-school football player whose life stopped after his fourth concussion. Then I speak to practitioners about the biodynamic approach I use, and to anyone who's ever had their bell rung: don't blow it off.

This episode is for education and isn't medical advice — if you've had a head injury, please get evaluated by a physician.

What is The Body Knows?

How does the body actually heal? Leigh Ankrum — founder of the Ankrum Institute and a teacher of whole-body manual therapy — shares short, clear conversations on what your body is telling you: fascia, the nervous system, the body's pressure systems, movement, and the deeper patterns underneath pain. If you have ever sensed there was more to your symptoms than you were told, you are in the right place. The body knows — listen in.
