Concussion Care is the only clinic in New Zealand that guarantees recovery

11/10/2025

After a concussion, “rest” can feel impossible.
Your mind races. Your body’s tired.
And you’re stuck between guilt for doing nothing and fear of doing too much.

Here’s the truth: Rest isn’t doing nothing.
It’s giving your nervous system the quiet it needs to recalibrate.

You’re not lazy. You’re healing.
And that’s the hardest work of all. 💛

After a concussion, your eyes and brain often stop working together as smoothly as before.
That’s why reading, scrolling, or being in busy places can trigger dizziness or headaches.

This is called visual-vestibular mismatch - and it’s incredibly common.

The good news? With the right rehabilitation, your brain can relearn how to process visual information again.
👉 You’re not imagining it. It’s real - and it’s treatable.

How many times have you heard it?
“Maybe it’s just stress.”
“Maybe it’s psychological.”
“You look fine - it’s probably nothing.”

❌ Here’s the truth: concussion symptoms are real.
Brain fog. Dizziness. Fatigue. Light and sound sensitivity. Anxiety. They all come from your brain and nervous system trying to heal - not from weakness, laziness, or imagination.

👉 You are not making this up.
👉 You are not exaggerating.
👉 You are not alone.

At Concussion Care, we see you. And we know recovery takes the right support, not dismissal. 💛

In recovery, we often pressure ourselves to “do more.”
Heal faster. Be stronger. Get back to life.

But the truth is: sometimes doing less is what moves you forward.

Every moment of quiet, rest, and patience is a gift to your brain. Healing happens in the stillness.

So today, remind yourself:
You are not falling behind.
You are giving your brain the chance it needs to recover. 🌿

Recovery is heavy when you carry it by yourself.

But when you connect with others who “get it” - it feels lighter.
Shared experiences bring validation, comfort, and hope.

At Concussion Care, we believe healing is about more than treatment plans. It’s about community, support and knowing someone’s in your corner.

You don’t have to go through this alone. 💛

After a concussion, your nervous system often gets stuck in “fight or flight.”
Here’s a quick exercise to help reset it:

👉 Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds.
👉 Hold for 2 seconds.
👉 Exhale slowly through your mouth for 6 seconds.

Repeat for 3–5 minutes.

This simple breathing practice can:
💤 Reduce anxiety
🧠 Calm overstimulation
⚖️ Support your brain’s healing process

Maybe you’ve been told:
“If you’re not better after 2 years, you won’t recover.”

❌ That’s not true.
Many people heal even after 5, 10, or 20 years of symptoms.

The brain has an incredible ability to rewire, no matter how long it’s been. With the right approach, recovery is possible.

Don’t give up hope — your timeline is your own.

It’s not just being “tired.”
It’s a deep, heavy exhaustion that sleep doesn’t fix.

This is concussion fatigue.
It’s why tasks that once felt simple now drain you.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood because of this - you’re not imagining it. It’s real. And it’s part of the recovery journey.

Be gentle with yourself. Rest is not weakness — it’s your body doing the work of healing.

20/09/2025

One of the most powerful things you can do in recovery is reduce the pressure you put on yourself.

When your brain feels stressed, healing slows down.
When it feels safe, healing speeds up.

🧘 Speak to yourself with patience and kindness.
💤 Prioritise rest and relaxation.
❤️ Treat yourself like you’d treat a loved one.

Your brain responds best to gentleness. Healing isn’t about doing more - it’s about giving yourself the space to recover.

Living with a concussion can feel isolating. People say:
“You look fine.”
“Shouldn’t you be better by now?”
“It’s all in your head.”

But YOU know the truth.
Recovery takes time.
Your symptoms are real.
And you are not alone.

At Concussion Care, we understand what you’re going through - and we’re here to walk alongside you. 💛
