Movement to Support Your Brain and Body

Studies have shown that just 15 mins of movement everyday is more beneficial than 40-60 mins a couple times a week. During this session we will discuss taking the movement you are already doing; at home, at the gym, in the outdoors and incorporating new techniques, fun events or classes to do just a little bit more and not fall off when it feels hard in support of your movement every day before we do some light exercises that you can incorporate daily.

Doreen Grasso, BIARI’s Education and Program Manager, will highlight the journey of brain injury prevention throughout the continuum of life. From childhood to later in life, it is important to know the mechanisms of how people obtain brain injuries and how they may be prevented. This is especially important as we age, for the senior population has the highest rates of TBI. Doreen will lend some perspective about the intersectionality of brain injury throughout life, with a focus on what factors most affect our senior population.
