Brain Power

Johanna McCormick DC spent Thursday morning at All Hallows School in Penwortham talking to the Years 9’s as part of their Health & Wellness week. Johanna talked about the importance of spinal health in relation to brain function and plasticity. That is, the brain’s reliance on the nervous system to supply it with the information it needs to function optimally and even change structurally as new neural pathways are formed. Johanna went on to highlight the importance of posture, sleep and movement to ensure this process can run as smoothly as possible.
