This podcast references an article I wrote many years ago for Stroke Smart Magazine’s Mobility Column. I feel it is appropriate today to share and build on the resources from the recent pre-launch of my new balance course, Believe in Balance.
Balance, a task we mastered early in life seems simple enough, but as we age or encounter a neurological insult like a stroke or other challenge that impairs mobility, balance often needs to be relearned. This may mean that the brain has to find new pathways, or a new route to learn how to maintain balance.
Scientists call this ability of the brain to be constantly reshaped when challenged, neuroplasticity.
definition (noun)-The ability of the brain to form and reorganize synaptic connections, especially in response to learning or experience or following injury.
Let’s break down that fancy word with a real world examples so you might learn how they can be applied to your current balance abilities.
