About this listen
What if recovery doesn’t start with muscles—but with sensation?
In this episode of Root to Rise, Dr. Emily Splichal shares her groundbreaking approach to neuro rehab by focusing on the overlooked power of sensory stimulation. From the eyes to the skin, she explains how engaging multiple sensory systems can reawaken the brain, accelerate recovery, and reshape motor patterns. Through powerful patient stories—including a spinal cord injury survivor walking again—Dr. Splichal reveals how “sensory stacking” transforms healing.
Key themes explored:
- How sensory input shapes motor recovery
- The four sensory systems that unlock neuroplasticity
- Practical tools for patients, athletes, and active agers
Recovery is more than movement—it begins with sensation. Tune in and discover how to wake up the brain and unlock lasting progress.
