We chat with Clinical Lead Physiotherapist Liz Jemson-Ledger about the importance of effective Return to Learn plans following concussion.

A brief chat about using learnings from current multimodal concussion care to improve brain injury rehabilitation

In motor learning a new skill, we hope for some powerful neuroplasticity. Threats & physical consequences are worth considering.

James discusses his top 5 movement myths and how this relates to motor control and the challenges around behaviour change. Enjoy.

We talk to Liz Jemson-Ledger, Clinical Lead Physiotherapist at Advanced Neuro Rehab. Liz is immersed in the world of concussion rehabilitation, and shares her thoughts on multidimensional care.

Where did vestibular rehabilitation start, how has it evolved, and what is next?

A brief introduction to Advanced Neuro Education and what to expect moving forward. Yay!
