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.

Thanks for reading and listening to the Achieve Balance podcast! This post and podcast episode is public so feel free to share it.

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.
