Can the Brain Rewire Itself After a Brain Injury?

< 1 min read

Yes, the brain has a remarkable ability to adapt and heal through neuroplasticity. After a brain injury, it can transfer functions from damaged areas to healthy ones, recreate lost connections, or establish new pathways. For example, former U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords, who lost her ability to speak after a traumatic brain injury, used music therapy to regain her ability to express herself.

At re-origin, we harness self-directed neuroplasticity, empowering individuals to actively retrain their brains. Through tools like visualization, pattern interruption, and somatic practices, re-origin helps create new neural pathways, shift old patterns, and improve mental and physical well-being. The same principles that aid brain injury recovery repetition, focus, and creating new connections apply to rewiring chronic symptoms or emotional loops.

However, it’s important to note that re-origin is not a replacement for medical care. We encourage anyone recovering from a brain injury to work closely with their healthcare provider and use neuroplasticity-based tools as a complement to their existing treatment plan. With consistent practice, these tools can support and enhance the brain’s natural capacity for healing.
