Concussions due to falls or injury during athletic participation are becoming increasingly more prevalent. Proper management is critical to ensure a safe return to activity. Symptoms may resolve within 72 hours allowing individuals to begin a 5-day return-to-play progression. Sometimes; however, symptoms are longer lasting and require additional rehabilitation.
