5 Myths and Misconceptions About Concussions

3.      They only occur in high-impact sports – False. You can still receive a concussion in a non-contact sport i.e. basketball, ice-skating and cycling. 

4.      No loss of consciousness means no concussion – In fact, only 10% of concussions occur with a loss of concussions. 

5.      Rest is the best recovery method – You should only rest for the first 24-48 hours before partaking in physical exercise therapy which focuses on gradual training.
