Can i snowboard while healing from concussion?

Not advisable: It is not a good idea. A second head injury at this stage can have drastic consequences. Additionally, your balance and coordination is not the same while recovering from a concussion, making falls more likely.

No: Exertion of any kind, physical or mental is a detriment to concussion recovery. Please rest!
