Recovering From A Stroke

Recovering From A Stroke
May 24, 2022AdminUncategorized

As you move, your brain needs to interpret and coordinate information from your eyes and vestibular systems while simultaneously controlling your joints and muscles. After a stroke, damage can occur in the areas of your brain that coordinate movement, and you may need to relearn some old skills. May is National Stroke Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to discuss how stroke rehabilitation and physical therapy in Rosedale can help you regain independence and recover some of what was lost. Continue reading to discover how our team at Flowers Physical Therapy can facilitate your recovery after a stroke! 

Recovering From A Stroke

A stroke is a medical event that can often cause debilitating and lasting after-effects. When blood flow to the brain is blocked by a ruptured or blocked blood vessel, stroke occurs. Many stroke survivors struggle with muscle weakness, loss of muscle control, and inability to coordinate movements. 

Since a stroke can affect different parts of the brain, the recovery process is different for everyone. No matter how your abilities have been affected, physical therapy in Rosedale is the key to improvement. Physical therapy after a stroke will mainly focus on rebuilding mobility and strength and reducing the physical impact of the event. Recovery outcomes after a stroke will vary from patient to patient, but targeted rehabilitation has numerous benefits, including:

  • Improved Mobility and Strength – Strokes can be physically devastated, but a consistent therapeutic exercise regimen can make an enormous difference. Our team can help you gradually gain strength and agility over time, allowing you to increasingly return to daily life. 
  • Avoiding Atrophy – Stroke patients who have lost the use of a limb are at risk of muscle atrophy. Repeated physical therapy exercises can stimulate the muscles and restore the brain-body connection. 
  • Increased Independence – A stroke can rob you of your independence. Completing a stroke rehabilitation program can improve your balance, increase mobility, rebuild muscle strength, and improve grip. This increased mobility can help restore your confidence and help you lead a more independent and productive life.

A stroke can be a physically and emotionally devastating event, but the body has a natural ability to repair itself. While rehabilitation may not totally reverse the effects of a stroke, a personalized stroke physical therapy in Rosedale can help you recover some of what was lost. To learn more about recovering from a stroke, be sure to contact Flowers Physical Therapy today!
