Be on the Journey to Wellness after
Concussion with These Tips
• Seek Out Help
o First things first, you need to find a specialist for a thorough concussion
treatment. Find a good specialist near you who has the right knowledge
and skills and can offer you the right guidance. It is important not to do it
alone as the effects might be much more severe than you think.
• Take Rest
o This is very important especially in the initial days after concussion. You
need to take cognitive and physical rest and avoid indulging in many
social activities. Your mind needs rest so you should limit the sensory input
you are feeding into it. Take time off work or school and avoid playing any
sports. You can do light physical activities like walking around the house,
only if the symptoms are not severe.
• Reduce Stress
o Stress can affect the process of healing after concussion. Therefore,
reduce as much stress as you can through tools like relaxation techniques
including but not limited to mindfulness and breathing exercises.
