As one of the top specialists in treating concussion and TBI, Dr. Kester Nedd’s approach is transformative. He developed the Brain Hierarchical Evaluation and Treatment (BHET) method, which emphasizes a multidimensional over linear approach. The BHET method considers the hierarchical organization of the brain and how this order is impacted by injury and the recovery process.
Each year, over 50 million individuals experience a Concussion or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
Yet, so little attention is paid to their evaluation and treatment.
