Grit With Wisdom
Adam Van Luu | Concussion, Finding Balance, and Setting Lofty goals!
Today on the show I’m sitting down with Adam Van Luu, a Squamish local Physiotherapist and Concussion Specialist.
Through his clinic which is part of Union Health & Performance, Adam works with people ranging from everyday enthusiasts, all the way up to elite-level athletes including a lot of the Blueprint crew.
Outside of work, Adam is an avid Mountain Biker, Climber, and Trail Runner.
This has been a conversation I’ve been wanting to have for a long time now, as I feel like by now we all know how important it is to take concussion seriously, but the specific Do’s and Don’ts of managing this injury aren’t always super clear.
Listen in as we cover the current best practices of managing concussion, as well as a deep dive into the mindset behind Adam's numerous Mountain Sports pursuits and ambitious goals!
You can follow Adam's adventures on Instagram @adamluu and learn more about the great work he does at unionhealthandperformance.com
