Amazing TBI Recovery Of Older Olympian

From  “Healing the Young Brain”

“One of the most interesting cases of head trauma is that of Grandma Luge.  Anne Abernathy has competed in six winter Olympic games.  When she was just forty years of age, much older than her teammates on the U.S. Olympic luge team, she earned the nickname Grandma Luge.  While competing, she suffered a severe closed head injury, which was believed severe enough to end her career.  Determined to compete in the Olympics once again, she sought the services of Mitch Hopkins, D.C., who was trained in brain mapping and neurofeedback.  He decided to take the case, but he promised to work only as hard as she worked.  Together they broke the medical barrier that many said would keep her from Olympic competition.  At the time she began working with him, athletic trainers would not take her as a client until she was more stable.  After a long and arduous process, she recovered and was able to compete, once again, in her sixth winter Olympics in 2006.  At age fifty-two, she has raced against competitors as young as sixteen.  She is still out there, thanks to a well-trained, dedicated doctor and Herculean effort on her part.  Neurofeedback enabled her to fulfill her dream of returning to the Olympics as the oldest competitor in the demanding and dangerous sport of luge.”

We have successfully treated TBI and PTSD patients in our offices and helped them get their lives back.  You may know someone who needs this cutting edge therapy.  It all begins with a QEEG/Brain Map, the findings, and a plan for recovery with neurofeedback.
