🚩How much should I rest after a concussion?

▶️After the initial injury, stop the activity right away and get medically assessed
▶️ 1-2 days at most of reduced activity is suggested. Gentle walking & daily activities are recommended as tolerated in first 1-2d
▶️After 1-2d: Gradually resuming light to moderate aerobic and cognitive activity is strongly recommended to help you recover
