101. "After having symptoms longer than 3 years you can't improve anymore." - This is bullsh*t!

101. "After having symptoms longer than 3 years you can't improve anymore." - This is bullsh*t!

Someone sent me a message, which said: "My doctor said: after having symptoms longer than 3 years you can't improve anymore." What 3-year mark?! Many doctors aren't right, they don't know how to help you, and they don't know that much about concussion. Listen to hear more about why there is no 3-year mark!

I tried a new treatment, a P-DTR treatment). Gijs (located in Amsterdam who is a PDTR advanced practitioner) reached out to me and said he could help me with my concussion symptoms. I thought, let’s give this PDTR treatment a try. I had nothing to lose. So I went there in January and right now I feel ready to share my experience with this treatment.
