Neuroplasticity-based recovery is a team sport — here's who's on the roster. Dr. Steven Cramer — now on NPA's Scientific Advisory Board — has spent decades studying stroke recovery and what drives it. His research, published across leading rehabilitation and neurology journals, consistently reinforces one principle: coordinated, multidisciplinary care produces measurably better outcomes. That holds across stroke, TBI, Parkinson's disease, MS, and chronic pain. The reason is mechanistic. Plasticity happens through repeated, challenging, task-specific activity across cognitive, motor, emotional, and functional domains — and each specialist contributes a different piece of that work. A full neuro recovery team can include: a neurologist (diagnosis + management), a physiatrist (rehab medicine quarterback), neuro PT (motor + movement), OT (daily living), SLP (speech, swallowing, cognition), neuropsychology (cognitive + emotional), and a mental health provider (depression, anxiety, PTSD alongside the neuro condition). Most teams get built over time, as patients and their providers add the right specialists for where recovery is going next. Knowing who to ask about — and when — is the heart of informed participation. Two NPA programs are built around exactly this. The Treatment Directory (live at https://app.npallies.org) is a free educational catalog of neuroplasticity-based approaches organized by condition. The Rewire Your Brain (https://www.npallies.org/rewireyourbrain) course walks participants through what active, informed recovery can look like. Both are designed to complement — never replace — the care your medical team provides. 📎 Share with anyone in year 1 of recovery. #HowTheBrainRewires #CareTeam #StrokeRecovery #Neuroplasticity
