Rehabilitation Exercises
Post Stroke Exercises
Exercise after a stroke helps the brain relearn movement. The most recovery usually happens in the first months, but improvement can continue for much longer with regular, task-specific practice.
What it does
Repeated practice drives neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to rewire. Intensity and repetition matter.
You will often see it in our programmes for stroke and infantile hemiparesis, and it features in our neuro physiotherapy programmes.
How to do it
- Range of motion for the affected arm and leg.
- Weight shifting and sit to stand.
- Arm and hand tasks: reaching, grasping, releasing.
- Walking and balance practice.
- Daily tasks practised with the affected side.
How much
As much practice as possible, spread through the day, as set by your physiotherapist.
Stop and check with us if
- New weakness, speech changes or facial drooping occur. Call emergency services.
- The shoulder becomes painful; handle the affected arm carefully.
