A survey of women in a social media support network for concussion found that 83% of respondents were interested in a brain-injury-tailored yoga and meditation program. Interest was driven by prior yoga experience, health and well-being benefits, and balance, healing, or mindfulness. Among the 12% not interested, reasons included physical disabilities, time constraints, and enrollment in similar programs. The findings suggest high acceptability of such complementary approaches among female patients with persistent postconcussion symptoms, who are especially vulnerable to prolonged recovery.
