A Brain Aneurysm is a weak, bulging area in an artery in the brain. In the US, it is estimated that 1 in 50 people are walking around with an unruptured brain aneurysm. If the aneurysm ruptures, it becomes a type of stroke (called subarachnoid hemorrhage)¹. Brain aneurysms affects women more than men at a ration of 3:2².

In this module we are just going to learn a little bit about brain aneurysms, so that we can understand it better if and when one of our clients experiences it.

Learning Outcomes:

• To understand what a Brain Aneurysm is

• Learn about signs and symptoms of Brain Aneurysm

• Develop a referral process for clients with symptoms

• Understand appropriate movement prescription for someone diagnosed with Brain Aneurysm

This course is for trainers who:

• Train women over 40

• Train women of colour (they carry twice the risk of developing an aneurysm)

• Would like to further their education in issues that affect predominately women

• Have an interest in brain health
