Three weeks ago, I decided to finally focus on something I had been neglecting for years: my neck. After sustaining both a concussion and whiplash eight years ago, I never gave my neck the attention it truly needed — until now. Let's dive into this Watson Headache Approach.

One of the most unexpected parts of concussion recovery — and honestly, one of the hardest — is the loneliness that comes with it. Not just the physical kind, like being stuck at home or canceling plans for the third time that week.But the emotional kind. The kind no one really talks about. The kind that whispers, “No one really gets what I’m going through.”

I want to share a little story about something I struggled with — maybe you have too. After my therapist gave me some exercises, I went all in. I pushed myself hard, giving 200%. I thought if I just worked hard enough, I’d get better faster.

When I first started healing from my concussion, I thought it would be a straight line. Rest, eat well, do the “right things” — and slowly but surely, I’d feel better. But that’s not what happened.
