The processes by which the brain can learn new information, or recover after injury, are known as neuroplasticity. In this presentation, we reveal actual applications using our latest understandings of exactly how to maximize neuroplasticity for people recovering from stroke, Parkinson's Disease, concussion, and more! Mike Studer, PT, MHS, NCS, CEEAA, CWT, CSST is a physical therapist certified as a neurological clinical specialist. He has been a PT for nearly 30 years, conducting research, writing papers and book chapters on topics ranging from stroke rehabilitation, cognition, Parkinson's Disease, dual tasking, and much more. He has presented by invitation to 48 states, 4 provinces in Canada, 9 countries, and 3 continents. His full-time clinical practice is located in Salem, Oregon at Northwest Rehabilitation Associates. As an avid marathoner, and health nut/longevity nerd, Mike can be easily engaged on his thoughts about exercise, nutrition, sleep, and learning! www.mikestuder.com This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Well said, beautifully spoken thanks for showing the pics giving us hope 🙏👍

[@barbaradouglas2283]

Yeah, that’s very very important & critical. I’m finding that I’m losing some degree of body ease. I’m noticing that since I’ve gotten into my 60’s & have been lazy quite abit it’s sorta starting to have an effect on my body now. I can hear everything this guy is saying & I understand this cause I’m 1of these people.

[@barbaradouglas2283]

Hmm 🤔 I’m listening to your message very closely. Re: brain damage? How about having a # of things wrong with your brain. I’m going to pay close attention to this rt now. Bruce Willis was just diagnosed with asphasia. Language & emotional area damaged. God help this family. I’ve got ADHD, ADD, Learning problems, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, stress, etc. Ew.

It would be so great if my insurance would pay after 2 years. But the thought process is that your brain only recovers for two year. So I sit in my house everyday with no hope, with my TBI. Hoping someday it will all go away.
