The context
Where the work begins
A safe return after concussion depends on observation, patience and a willingness to adjust the plan. The Western guidance brings sports, school and family routines into the same conversation.
The takeaway
What follows
That practical framing matters beyond the clinic: recovery is easier to support when the people around a young person know what to watch and when to slow down.
