The confusion about concussions
Concussions are hard to diagnose, often get missed, and don't always get taken seriously. And if you're not a professional athlete, it can be surprisingly hard to get clear information on how to manage and recover afterwards. Why? The brain is your most important organ, after all! This week, we try and make sense of the confusion around concussions. This episode was first broadcast in October 2023. Guests: Dr Lewis Freeth Psychiatrist Kate Naznin Virji-Babul Physical therapist and neuroscientist Associate Professor, Department of Physical Therapy Faculty of Medicine University of British Columbia Shreya Mcleod Physiotherapist Lecturer, Australian Catholic University PhD candidate, University of Newcastle Credits: Presenter/producer: Sana Qadar Producer: Rose Kerr Sound engineer: Russell Stapleton
