Concussion – where’s your head at?

Working as an Emergency First Responder and Athletic Therapist with soccer, hurling, football, hockey teams of all ages levels I’ve seen many firsthand concussions. We, as a society, need to be more attentive of concussions and their possible implications.

The more aware players, coaches, individuals and professionals are about concussion the less likely we are to have long term or future implications. We need to recognise the signs, report to appropriate people, and return to play gradually. Check out my info image below with some details of concussion and what to do.
