Personally, I believe the "weak neck muscles contribute to Concussion risk" is bogus. It is based on faulty science. The laws of physics prove it to be wrong. But, weak neck muscles can increase the risk of the upper neck injuries that can magnify or mirror concussion symptoms.
A few years ago, someone posted a link to some neck exercises that were targeted at concussions. But, regarding speed bumps, It helps to lean forward a bit and take your shoulders off the seat back as you go over the speed bump. Much of the vertical force is transmitted through the back of your shoulders. By keeping your shoulders off the seat back, you can minimize this force. Plus, if you roll your shoulders and head and neck forward a bit, the curve in your upper back is better able to absorb these forces. |

Mark, have you been able to figure out what this sensation means when we feel every small bump in our brains ? What happens in our brain during these events ? I believe much of it is anxiety as we tend to focus too much on our heads and necks while travelling in a vehicle and passing over bumps and these bumps or potholes aren't a big deal. thoughts ?

And it's funny that you should mention how to absorb or prepare for a bump in the road while driving. I was in the passenger seat recently and the driver completely didn't see a huge speed bump. I gave the heads up about it but we went through the bump at about 25 mph or so. I instinctively did what you described I moved my upper body forward away from the backrest and this did take from the impact. |
