Neuroplasticity: The Science, the Spark, and the Everyday Work
An APTA Magazine feature explores how neuroplasticity — the brain's capacity to reorganize and adapt — is directly relevant to physical therapy practice across all patient populations. The article examines the science behind neuroplasticity and its practical implications for improving patient outcomes in everyday PT sessions. Understanding these mechanisms can help clinicians design more effective interventions that leverage the nervous system's inherent adaptability.
