13 –Dealing with Sports Injuries

Recovering from an injury can be one of the most difficult
challenges an athlete can face.  In this episode I discuss
two topics related to this issue. First, I look at the growing
epidemic that is sport related concussions  and consider
issues related to detection, assessment, multiple concussion
syndrome, and when an athlete can return to play.  Second, I
discuss the role of attention in recovery from knee and elbow
injuries and how we might get an athlete to stop being overly
focused on their injury.
