After a concussion, relative rest is crucial for brain recovery. This means avoiding activities that worsen your symptoms, but complete isolation is not recommended. Several studies over the past 10 years have found that if you do nothing at all except start an exercise program, you will start to see extreme benefits in your recovery.

 

Research shows staying completely inactive can actually slow healing.

At Advanced Movement + Balance, our systematic approach starts with detailed assessments to understand your specific limitations and needs. We then guide you through relative rest and graded exercises, helping you safely return to daily activities or sports.
