Not a good solution for a mTBI.

Quiet rest is the recommendation. A few weeks off work in a disciplined low stress environment can make a big difference. It takes discipline to not over-exert while resting quietly. I suggest something like fresh water fishing. Sitting watching a red and white bobber for hours is good quiet rest. Or cast and retrieve a lure or fly fishing. They all have a slow pace.

There are other quiet rest activities. Quiet rest is the only worthwhile treatment.

My best to you.
