REHABILITATION INFORMATION

Physical Therapie

Physical Therapy includes a variety of muscle maneuvers, activities and exercises designed to train the brain and the muscles to work together.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy is a more task-focused type of training, and therapists work with stroke survivors on practical, real-world, day-to-day tasks such as getting in and out of bed and dressed, eating & drinking, and general walking and climbing of stairs. It usually starts directly in the hospital on Day 2 or 3.

Speech and Swallow Therapy

Speech and Swallow Therapy will support you in getting those skills back as swallowing is equally important for breathing, coughing, speaking as it is for drinking and eating.

Visual and Balance Therapy

Visual Therapy and Balance Therapy are often scheduled in combined rehabilitation sessions for stroke survivors, because vision partially relies on good balance and balance partially relies on good vision, and the areas of the brain that control these two functions have to interact.

Cognitive Therapy

Cognitive Therapy involves interventions that are designed to improve thinking skills and problem-solving abilities.

Yoga & Meditation

Further Therapy Forms in Post-Stroke Rehabilitation

New types of therapy are evolving, like Innovative Physical Therapy, EMDR, Mirror Therapy, Electrical Therapy, Therapy Dogs and Music Therapy.
