She highlights exciting research findings showing that mind-body practices can significantly improve cognitive function and mental health in individuals with brain injuries, addressing issues such as cognitive fatigue, depression, pain, sleep, emotional regulation, and resilience. She underscores the importance of adopting these approaches to meet the unique needs of people with brain injuries who often experience challenges like dizziness, balance issues, and co-occurring PTSD.
