Advanced Technology to Help You Heal

Northwestern Medicine Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital uses innovative technologies to provide world-class care. With these leading-edge tools, our therapists can tap into the guiding principles of neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to change or heal in response to experiences — and work toward positively impacting your functional recovery.

Neuroplasticity is the basis of new technologies that aim to help your nervous system change and heal after a trauma or injury. These technologies are not substitutes for regular therapy, but tools that your therapist can use to help give you the best recovery possible. Used carefully with evidence-based approaches, technology based on neuroplasticity can help you work smarter, not harder during your recovery.
