A coach, at all many levels, for much of his life, Paul took about a ten year hiatus until his rehab psychologist, encouraged him to get back to teaching, leading,

Dysautonomia is a blanket term describing a disorder of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). As such, it covers a lot of important issues from mild to severe. Often the signs and symptoms of dysautonomia manifest following a concussion. Luckily, DPT Lauren Ziaks is always here (well, not HERE, here. 5,685km west, here) to tell me all about it. Lauren talks about dysautonomia treatment and the research she has done along with DPT Jenna Tucker. Check out her work on Phoenix Concussion Recovery!Please
