Returning to physical activity after a concussion

Our experienced team works with other specialists to create an effective treatment plan for children who have had a concussion. By using a three-phase recovery process, we help children return to full physical activity and sports participation.

Our returning to play protocol can be used with all concussion patients, whether or not they play sports. A goal of the protocol is to help children return to all types of physical activity, quickly and safely.

A safe return to play and sports

Once your child can tolerate going to school without any issues, they can start our customized action plan. They will be cleared to play sports and other activities only after they can tolerate school without difficulty. Learn about our returning to school protocol.

At first, the only approved activities will be walking and light jogging. Your child will need to avoid contact play with other children and activities with flying objects, such as balls, flags or batons.

Our care team will work closely with your child to help them recover fully on their own timetable.
