Kouros Emami, PsyD, neurology and neuropsychology physician at HSS, appeared as a guest on Curious by Nature podcast (by Newswise) to discuss how most concussions are fully treatable. 

For decades, the standard medical advice for treating a concussion was to go sit in a dark room, turn off your phone, and do absolutely nothing until you felt better. But modern science has completely flipped the script, revealing that hiding out in the dark might actually make your brain recover slower.

Dr. Emami works on the cutting edge of head injury recovery – treating everyone from elite athletes to everyday people, using active movement and specialized exercises to help the brain heal itself.
