In the world of concussion management, the old-school advice was to go home and do nothing after getting a concussion diagnosis. Current research tells us that this advice can negatively affect prognosis by prolonging symptoms. Ultimately, doing nothing leads to more of nothing. After 24-48 hours of rest, it's time to get moving again. Maintaining a physical routine has been shown to improve recovery. We are built for adaptation, doing nothing denies us of a timely recovery.

Mistakes to avoid #2: Not enough exposure to things that set off symptoms. Meaning that #concussion sufferers often resort to avoidance rather than confronting either pain or fear of symptoms. The brain #adaptation is designed much the same as a muscle is to exercise. The more the brain is stimulated the more it will adapt. If it doesn't face any stimulation then don't expect to recover very fast. Therefore, continued use of light blocking glasses, earplugs, avoiding exercise, and busy environments will only delay full recovery. Exposing oneself to these stimuli often will produce symptoms, however, that is not a bad thing. This exposure creates the adaptation your brain needs for recovery. The trick is exposing yourself in a controlled fashion to optimize recovery and not overdoing it.
