Default EMDR for Post-Concussion Syndrome?

Wow, so, it was not my intention to have my first post here be as much out of left field as this one(after visiting the site for months without ever registering) . But has anyone had any experience trying to treat their PCS symptoms, and perhaps more specifically, the anxiety and hypersensitivity they have related to the possibility of re-injury, with EMDR?

EMDR is typically used to treat PTSD and severe phobias, but I suppose enough googling of anything will yield some preliminary studies and hypotheses on how it might treat PCS, at least inasmuch as nervous system sensitivity and anxiety are concerned.

I feel like some aspects of PCS are related as much to like a body-memory or body-fear of reinjury. I don't mean this in a woo-woo kind of way, but more in the same way that PTSD, which has its similarities, and trauma of any kind, can be "trapped" in the body? Have just finished reading "The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel van der Kolk, who (if you're not familiar) is sort of like the Michael Jordan of PTSD.

Wondering if anyone knows anything about this or (even better) has any experience with it? I've tried just about everything else possible, as so many of you have, and am still not back where I want to be.
