Default Exercise and recovery

Exercise is actually good for your recovery. There are several concussion rehabilitation protocols that specifically include graded return to exercise, working just below the level that triggers adverse symptoms. Best to have a customised program developed by someone like a neuro-physiotherapist or an exercise physiologist with good knowledge of brain injury. My son's neuro-physio also had him doing exercises in a hydrotherapy pool. See what your dizziness will allow you to do and gradually build up. Exercise bikes are a good way to do some cardio. And definitely avoid lifting heavy weights.
