Stroke rehabilitation

---

Stroke rehabilitation is a program designed to help individuals regain movements and skills that were lost after a stroke. Depending on the parts of the brain affected by the stroke, rehabilitation can aid in improving movement, speech, strength, and daily living skills. 

The Stroke Rehabilitation program aims to help individuals regain independence and improve their quality of life. Research has shown that those who participate in a focused stroke rehabilitation program tend to perform better than those who do not receive such rehabilitation.

The effects of a stroke can vary widely, but some common complications include loss of muscle strength, coordination, and independence. Therefore, stroke rehabilitation is recommended for all individuals affected by a stroke, regardless of the severity of their condition.

At Skyline Physiotherapy, our physiotherapists offer various treatments for stroke rehabilitation 

This includes but is not limited to:

• Motor-skill exercises to help improve muscle strength and coordination throughout the body.

• Mobility training to re-learn how to walk independently or by using mobility aids, such as a walker, walking stick or crutches.

• Range of motion therapy to ease muscle tension and help you regain range of motion.

• Stretch therapy to prevent secondary complication such as contracture in the muscle.
