Physiotherapy plays a significant role in promoting adult neurogenesis, which is the process of generating new neurons in the adult brain. Research has shown that physiotherapy can enhance neurogenesis, leading to improved cognitive function, motor function, and overall brain health.

• Exercise- Regular exercise, a key component of physiotherapy, has been shown to promote neurogenesis in the hippocampus, a region of the brain involved in learning and memory.

• Neuroplasticity-Physiotherapy can enhance neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to adapt and change, which is essential for learning and memory.

• Increased blood flow-Exercise and physical activity increase blood flow to the brain, providing essential nutrients and oxygen for neurogenesis.

• Reduced stress- Physiotherapy can help reduce stress, which is known to negatively impact neurogenesis.

• Aerobic exercise-Aerobic exercise, such as walking or cycling, can promote neurogenesis and improve cognitive function.

• Resistance training-Resistance training can improve muscle strength and function, which can also promote neurogenesis.

• Balance and coordination exercises –Exercises that challenge balance and coordination can improve neuroplasticity and promote neurogenesis.

• Cognitive training- Cognitive training programs, often used in physiotherapy, can improve cognitive function and promote neurogenesis.
