5 tips to concussion recovery in kids
There are an estimated 1 to 2 million sports related concussions every year in the United States in children and adolescents. Traditionally, post-concussion recommendations have included strict rest. However, there is emerging scientific evidence that strict rest after sports related concussions actually slows recovery and increases the probability of prolonged symptoms. In this video I review how and why reintroducing physical activity within the first week is very important to recovery.
