Sports-related concussions (SRC) are one of the more common injuries affecting young athletes across all levels of play. In the U.S. alone, an estimated 3.8 million sports-related concussions occur each year, with many more likely going undetected. With rising numbers, unpredictable symptoms, and added injury risk, early, active management is key.

Sports nutrition is the science and practice of fueling the body to support physical activity, performance, and recovery.

Feeling like physical therapy didn’t work. Or worse - being told it won’t work at all. The truth is, everyone experiences injury and pain differently.

The name “T4 Syndrome” comes from the T4 vertebra, which is part of the middle section of your back, known as the “thoracic spine.” This area protects your spinal cord and plays a big role in your nervous system. When irritation or pressure occurs here, it can affect the sympathetic nerves that help control sensation, circulation, and even pain signals. People with T4 Syndrome might feel unusual symptoms like tingling, aching, or numbness in the arms, hands, neck, or upper back.

T4 Syndrome is not deadly and should not be feared despite its stealthy presentation of symptoms. People respond best to T4 Syndrome with a multi-modal approach that focuses on mobility and supplemental stretching and strengthening.

In order to return to the field, physical outputs, such as strength, power, speed, range of motion requirements, and work capacity are prerequisites to reintroduction to sport. However, these physical outputs require top-down control to be effectively implemented on the field. Cognitive components like motivation, confidence, reactions, and decision-making have a direct effect on how athleticism is expressed by athletes.

Injuries are an unfortunate reality for many athletes, but the psychological impact can be just as challenging as the physical recovery. After an injury, many athletes need to attend physical therapy to recover and strengthen the injured area. But, what many athletes do not consider is that it’s just as important to recover and strengthen one’s mind after an injury before returning to sport.
