Think Fit. Be Fit. podcast 16.Dec.2023

In this episode of the Impact Your Fitness podcast, host Jennifer Schwartz discusses the concept of neuroplasticity and its importance in exercise and physical therapy. Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to build new pathways and adapt as we learn new things or have new experiences. By harnessing neuroplasticity, we can optimize our exercise routines and achieve better results in a shorter amount of time. However, several factors can block neuroplasticity, including lack of sleep, stress and emotional blocks, lack of exercise or excessive physical stress, and neuroinflammation.
