If you think you may have a concussion, let a coach, parent, or athletic trainer know right away. Give both your body and brain time to heal by avoiding sports, heavy exercise, or rough activities at first. It\u2019s also important to cut back on things like screen time, loud music, or schoolwork if they make your symptoms worse.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

After a concussion, it\u2019s important to be checked by a healthcare provider and carefully follow their recovery and return-to-play plan. Never try to push through, \u201ctough it out,\u201d or hide your symptoms, as this can make the injury worse and delay healing.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” style=”double” border_width=”2″ el_width=”30″ css=”” accent_color=”#C0C0C0″][vc_custom_heading text=”GRADUAL RETURN” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:20|text_align:center|color:%234E3737″ google_fonts=”font_family:PT%20Serif%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” css=””][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1757635796612{margin-top: -10px !important;padding-right: 90px !important;padding-left: 90px !important;}”]\n

Recovery usually follows a step-by-step process<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Complete Rest<\/strong> \u2013 No sports, limit mental strain.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Light Activity<\/strong> \u2013 Walking or light movement, no contact.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Moderate Exercise<\/strong> \u2013 Jogging, biking, or light drills.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Sport-Specific Drills<\/strong> \u2013 No contact, but more intense practice.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Full-Contact Practice<\/strong> \u2013 Only with medical clearance.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Return to Play<\/strong> \u2013 Full competition once symptom-free.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” style=”shadow” border_width=”5″ el_width=”70″ css=”” accent_color=”#C0C0C0″][vc_custom_heading text=”WATCH FOR SYMPTOMS” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:20|text_align:center|color:%234E3737″ google_fonts=”font_family:PT%20Serif%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” css=””][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1757635990123{margin-top: -10px !important;padding-right: 120px !important;padding-left: 120px !important;}”]\n

If your symptoms come back at any point during recovery, pause and give yourself more time to rest. You should only move on to the next step once you are completely symptom-free.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” style=”shadow” border_width=”5″ el_width=”80″ css=”” accent_color=”#C0C0C0″][vc_custom_heading text=”THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:20|text_align:center|color:%234E3737″ google_fonts=”font_family:PT%20Serif%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” css=””][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1757636194719{margin-top: -10px !important;padding-right: 120px !important;padding-left: 120px !important;}”]\n

\ud83d\udc49 Most important:<\/strong> Don\u2019t return to play until a healthcare provider says it\u2019s safe. Coming back too soon can put you at risk for a more serious injury.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=”custom” style=”shadow” border_width=”5″ el_width=”80″ css=”” accent_color=”#C0C0C0″][vc_custom_heading text=”Navigate Back To…” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:22|text_align:center|color:%230B0C47″ google_fonts=”font_family:PT%20Serif%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_btn title=”Concussion Resource Page” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#211D1D” outline_custom_hover_background=”#C0C0C0″ align=”center” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Ffindyourrightfit.com%2Findex.php%2Fconcussion-resource-page%2F|title:Concussion%20Resource%20Page”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_btn title=”Home Page” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#211D1D” outline_custom_hover_background=”#C0C0C0″ align=”center” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Ffindyourrightfit.com%2F|title:Home”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_btn title=”Sports Resource Page” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#211D1D” outline_custom_hover_background=”#C0C0C0″ align=”center” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Ffindyourrightfit.com%2Findex.php%2Fsports-resource-page%2F|title:Sports%20Resource%20Page”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
