Fall brings cooler air and changing colors. For many, it is a season of comfort and fresh starts. But for people living with dizziness, balance problems, or a constant fear of falling, the season can also be a reminder of risk. Wet leaves, uneven sidewalks, and shorter days can make everyday movement more challenging.

Have you ever noticed how you can walk through a dark room and still know where your body is in space Or how you can catch yourself from falling before you even realize you tripped That is your brain processing sensory information behind the scenes.

When most people think about concussions, they picture headaches, dizziness, or memory struggles.

At Plasticity Brain Centers, we know that the connection between the brain and body is what allows people to thrive in daily life.

Most of us don’t give much thought to our eye movements—we simply use them to read, scan a room, or track something in motion. But those tiny shifts in the eyes reveal a lot about how the brain is functioning.

Every movement we make, from taking a step to writing our name, relies on seamless communication between the brain and body.

The human brain is one of the most adaptable, dynamic systems in the known universe — and science continues to uncover just how flexible it truly is. Through a process called neuroplasticity

Repetitive Peripheral Somatosensory Stimulation (RPSS) may sound like something only researchers talk about—but it’s changing lives in real-world recovery settings every day.
