We have spoken a lot about concussions, here are some interesting facts based on the most recent literature. You must still seek the advice of a trained professional, but the idea is that the brain requires time to recover (not 1 day, not 2 days and you’re in the clear). Time and the right steps are required before full integration to activity is introduced. Here are the quick facts.
- 7-10 The number of days that most concussions symptoms resolve
- 30 The number of days that the brain takes to fully heal from the same concussion
- 5-10 The percentage of Athletes who will experience concussions in a sport
- 10-15 Percentage of concussions that can develop into Post Concussion Syndrome
