This course was so in-depth and useful! Dr. Wolf explained very complex topics in a very clear and understandable way. This class teaches you in depth what concussions are, which sets me up with a firm foundation for understanding the rest of the classes in the series. There is no treatment info in this course - it focuses on the pathophysiology of concussions/TBIs and reviews the signs and symptoms in detail. I really enjoyed it!

My stepson and many clients over the years have suffered TBI's of various severities. I'm so glad to finally understand what happens physiologically and look forward to learning more about how to treat them!

This is a fantastic course. I have PCS and TBI and it has been a long journey as not many understand it. I almost want to give this course to my patients as often their physicians and some neurologists just dismiss them and invalidate their symptoms. Brilliant information
