The Full Court Press

Basketball players will be familiar with this strategy: The Full Court Press! It's a variant of the double team strategy and involves man-on-man defence across the length of the court. And, just like the double team, it too can be successfully used in TBI recovery.

As I've repeatedly said, there's a massive variety of problems a TBI can cause. For TBI recovery, a Full Court Press means finding the right help from whoever is most able with any particular problem. Whenever I came across a problem, I think about how it might best be handled. Who should I talk to about it?

In the post, Stamina, I described the amount of help I'd received: I've seen eight different specialists, two general practitioners and twelve others (therapists, nurses or technicians and the like). When you include me as captain, that's almost enough for five basketball teams! And, of course, it's without any of the massive number of others who have helped me with support, ideas or even just by hearing me out.

A great way of recovering well from a TBI is to use a good team approach: The Full Court Press!
