Stroke rehabilitation is an important part of recovery after stroke. Stroke rehabilitation can help you regain independence and improve your quality of life. In-Home Physiotherapy allows greater flexibility for rehabilitation than other options.
Post-Stroke Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation helps stroke survivors relearn skills that are lost when part of the brain is damaged. These skills include coordinating leg movements in order to walk. Individuals may need to learn how to bathe and dress using only one hand, or how to communicate effectively when their ability to use language has been compromised.
