The brain has a remarkable ability to heal itself after injury. In response to aging, trauma or disease, the structure of and connections in our brain are designed to adapt and change over a lifetime. This is called neuroplasticity.

There is a reason why our physical, occupational and speech therapists ask patients to repeat the same task. Repetition helps build the muscles and endurance needed to walk or talk as well as helping the brain recreate or restore the neural connections that make walking and talking a “no-brainer.” Every repetition of a word, movement, activity—even emotion—builds and strengthens the mental connections making it easier to accomplish everyday tasks.
