A concussion is an injury that can occur when the brain is forcefully shaken. This can happen during sudden changes in direction, like whiplash or direct impact to the head. The force can injure any part of the brain and result in delayed or immediate alterations in the brain’s function and chemistry.

Your brain has the consistency of gelatin. It's cushioned from everyday jolts and bumps by cerebrospinal fluid inside your skull.
A violent blow to your head and neck or upper body can cause your brain to slide back and forth forcefully against the inner walls of your skull.

There is growing concern about the long-term effects on the brain of people who experience multiple or repeated head impacts. Repeated head impacts include not only head impacts that lead to a mild TBI or concussion, but also head impacts that do not cause the person to feel symptoms after a hit to the head.
Studies are ongoing to learn if getting multiple head impacts that do not cause a person to feel symptoms affect the brain over time
Are we no longer having full contact practices? Are guys not being tackled and or knocked and pulled to the ground? Are LBs not tackling RBs head on? Safeties not tackling WRs?
Head blows to the ground such as Tuas are a leading cause of concussions. I see lots of tackling where peoples heads hit the ground.
Physical Therapy Can Help With A Concussion -
Physical Therapy can help if you have a concussion. JOI has a concussion management program with Dr. Yorio which includes physical therapy.
