Motor Imagery

Motor imagery is a MENTAL TECHNIQUE, not a supplement. It involves mentally rehearsing or simulating movement without actual physical execution. Used in sports performance, rehabilitation (especially stroke recovery), and motor skill acquisition. Research supports benefits for post-stroke motor recovery and sports performance enhancement. Works by activating similar neural pathways as actual movement. Free to practice; can be done anywhere. Often combined with physical practice for optimal results.

⚠️ Limited Research Available — This supplement has emerging preclinical research but no graded clinical outcomes yet. Evidence is based on animal or in-vitro studies only.
