mirror therapy

Mirror therapy is a technique that uses a mirror to create a visual illusion of movement in a limb that is difficult or impossible to see or move, such as after an injury or stroke. The person places a mirror in line with their unaffected limb, so it reflects the image as if it were the affected limb moving normally. This visual feedback can help rewire the brain, reducing pain or improving movement by promoting neural connections related to the affected area. It’s a non-invasive, therapeutic approach often used in rehabilitation to enhance recovery.
