How do we make Neuro-plastic changes in Physiotherapy?
The brain is constantly in the process of making Neuroplastic changes that enables us to learn, change and adapt. To put simply in terms of neurological deficit, if an area of the brain is not functioning at optimum capacity, then bypassing this area of the brain by creating new pathways can lead to improved function, this is what we would call Neuroplasticity. This concept is nothing new to the physiotherapy world, in fact, the brain is making thousands of neuroplastic changes every second, it is how we use the concept of neuroplasticity to our advantage within our practice that really amplifies our results.
