Concussion Rehab | Why Dark Room Therapy Doesn't Work

injuries No Comments »

Concussion Rehab | Why Dark Room Therapy Doesn't Work

Dark room therapy is a thing of the past. The concussion rehabilitation world no longer sees this as the way we should be handling patients, and there’s a good reason for it.

In years past, patients who had concussions may have been told by their medical practitioners to go into a dark room for a while and do, nothing. Like, absolutely nothing. This seemed to help right off the hop because, I mean, a dark room can’t make your symptoms worse can it?

The problem becomes leaving the dark room. Patients were told to leave their dark room when they felt better. Feeling good surrounded by darkness and silence though, is very different from feeling good in regular life. If you’re never being exposed to the things that cause symptoms in the first place, those symptoms are unlikely to get better. In fact, your body may even become MORE sensitive to these things than they were when you started the dark room therapy in the first place!

Modern concussion rehabilitation instead focuses on progressive exposure to stimulus that can cause exposure. An analogy that can be helpful in managing symptoms can be the stoplight analogy that I outline in the video, emphasizing time spent in the “yellow light” zone where there are some symptoms, but not too much of a worsening in overall feelings.

So why watch A Physio Named Jonah?
For free videos about the human body, injuries, rehabilitation, the world of Physiotherapy, and whatever other shenanigans comes along. Maybe you can learn something new and not feel like you’re stuck in a classroom waiting for the bell to ring.

A Physio Named Jonah is a channel created by, well, exactly who you think. The channel features primarily Physiotherapy based topics, or things that it would make sense for a Physical Therapist to weigh in on. The goal is to make these often sterile topics interesting and easily accessible to anyone with a few laughs (or forced exhales from your nose if you’re alone) along the way.

Jonah is a Canadian Physiotherapist who works with a primarily outpatient orthopaedic population at a clinic in Sudbury, Ontario. He completed his Master’s of Physical Therapy at the University of Toronto, with his Bachelors of Sciences specialized in Human Kinetics coming from The University of Ottawa. He is also considered by his parents, fiancee, and 2 dogs to be a pretty cool guy.

How To Hypnotize Someone Easy

Learning how to hypnotize someone is very easy and you can already do it right now!
The key is to be able to excite and grab the attention of the person you want to hypnotize!

We have all been hypnotized several times in our lives as well as we hypnotized others. How? Very simple!
Every time you tell a story, you are actually inducing your listener into a state a trance.

Sadly, many people have the wrong idea about hypnosis and think of it more like some sort of magic or sorcery than a tool for help, healing, and growth.

Hypnosis is not magic but can have magical results. It works at the deepest level of the mind and psyche and the transformations achieved with its help are often long-lasting.

If you want to learn how to hypnotize someone for beginners click here: https://youtu.be/LuhFzQ9673k

Here are a few words that you can use instead of hypnosis:
– enthralled,
– entranced
– absorbed
– sucked in
– engulfed
– consumed
– excited
– passionate
– mesmerized
– fascinated
– spellbound
– compelled

Therefore, the best way to hypnotize someone easily is to tell them a story.

Stories activate several areas of our brains whereas plain facts and numbers engage only a few. That is the reason why most people are bored to death when it comes to data only.

However, if you mix data with metaphors, you can generate amazing stories that grab people’s attention and spark their imagination.
That is trance!
That is a form of hypnosis!

This ability to help people through stories was taken to the next level by arguably, the most famous modern-day hypnotist, Milton Erickson.

Milton was the champion of healing through stories and has helped many people throughout his career by hypnotizing them easily with stories.

This is also my recommendation to you, especially if you are a beginner in hypnosis: learn how to use metaphors, comparisons, and create stories.
In those stories, introduce the suggestions you would like to give.
This works especially well if you want to help other people.

Our brains are wired for stories. We heard them since our early childhood and they influenced our lives in every single way.
That is why it is so easy to hypnotize people by telling them stories.

Concussions occur in all sports, not just football

injuries No Comments »

When we think of sport-related concussions, football probably comes to mind, and rightly so. Football leads almost every other sport in most studies looking at rates of concussion.

They can occur in other sports too, and athletes and parents must recognize that fact.

Soccer, hockey, rugby, cheerleading and other sports present risks for concussions. Both male and female athletes can suffer these traumatic brain injuries. Therefore, everyone involved in sports needs to recognize the signs and symptoms of concussions and take the appropriate steps to treat the injured athlete.

In this video, I discuss some of the risks in sports other than concussions. I also emphasize why these injuries are so important for parents, coaches and the athletes themselves.

Concussions aren’t limited to football

The largest study to date on the dangers of hard hits and concussions in football concluded that 110 of 111 deceased former NFL players had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, raising even stronger concerns about the risks of brain injury from playing the sport.
