Description

Neuroplasticity is a crucial concept in rehabilitation, yet it is sometimes disregarded while treating severe injuries. This course will provide fresh ideas on how to detour around damage and add viable nervous system connections for faster, more complete healing from catastrophic injuries and post-op situations to stroke.

It’s never too late to start. The brain is not pre-programmed. Even decades after the initial damage, it can evolve and adapt.

Dr. Pryor will show you practical, evidence-based procedures and treatments to excite the brain and accelerate healing based on his 40 years of clinical expertise.

Examine the nervous system for signs of damage and functioning pathways.
Discuss tone problems and eyesight, as well as how they are linked and treated.
Guided neurological reconnection improves patient function.
Improve client independence and perceptions of safety through improving balance and visuospatial function.
Make actionable treatment strategies to assist you at home.
Reclaim your movement and your quality of life.

You will discover practical and effective approaches that you can immediately apply in your practice. These evidence-based therapies will be used from acute injury to recovery. Purchase now! You can’t afford to pass up this opportunity to learn skills, strategies, and knowledge that will help you promote neuroplasticity and enhanced function in your patients!
