I was a martial arts πŸ₯‹ prior to my TBI. I have tried to return but I have not because of my neurofatigue which lead to weight gain and deconditioning. It has been a real bummer. What has helped me to get motivated is to take baby steps. I’m walking and doing chair yoga.

Healing β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή and participating in therapy takes a lot of energy. If possible don’t make the mistake I did.
I returned to full time work before I had the energy to heal, do therapy exercises, and work. Guess what ended up happening.

I stopped doing my therapy exercises.
