Have you studied hyperbaric oxygen therapy for TBI? 18 years post mTBI. In PT for dysautonomia. We have a lot of HBOTs in Denver. Love your vids. You recommend Mag l threonate in a video and it helped me sleep through the night. Thank u so so much- Lexi
Yes. Can be very helpful for some folks, more research is coming out suggesting benefit. That said, it's still important to hit the basics (e.g., exercise, visual/vestibular rehab, nutrition, sleep) before hitting therapies like HBOT, photobiomodulatiom, etc...
Thank you so much for sharing this - super helpful. In your experience, how long does it typically take for patients to achieve 80% of max HR symptoms free? A few weeks, a month, or longer? I’m 2 months post-injury, and I walk daily for 40 minutes at 100 bpm (fog clears), then I do 30 minutes on a stationary bike at 120-125 bpm (symptoms arise slightly but remain manageable).
The data shows (at least in young males) about 13 days. That lines up with my experience across guys and gals - usually 1-2 weeks of structured progressive exercise. Longer in some PCS cases. Definitely longer (and often different approach) with dysautonomia like POTS.
So helpful!
Glad it was helpful!

How do you know when you are ready to move up to the next sub symtom heart rate threshold?
We use a symptom-based "stop light system." I talk about it in detail in my Concussion Reset Program 🙏❤️🧠

@@drmarkheisig thank you! 🙏🏼
What if the headaches come hours after the workout? Does that mean you've pushed it too far?
The literature intuitively calls that "late or delayed exercise intolerance," and it's usually attributed to visual/vestibular or cervical issues.
