Ep. 91 - Concussion Prevention for Youth Athletes Using the BeActivated System
In this week’s episode, Trent is joined by Carel Wildenboer, a BeActivated Practitioner and Physiotherapist, to delve into the issue of concussions in contact sports. They discuss how athletes often develop inefficient movement patterns that can contribute to head and brain injuries, resulting in concussions.
Carel offers a detailed explanation of Activations developed by Douglass Heel, highlighting how specific movement patterns and compensations can heighten the risk of concussions. The conversation covers effective strategies, common misconceptions, and practical solutions for coaches, athletes, medical staff, and parents. The goal is to help youth athletes enhance their performance, accelerate recovery, and enhance overall safety in their sports activities.
