This week is national stroke week ✨

Exercise rehabilitation is an integral part of the healing process. 3-6 months post stroke is where the brain has the greatest neuro plasticity for physical and cognitive gains.

Long term exercise rehabilitation helps protect against further strokes and assists in maintaining and improving physical function

✨The Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE)

This is a personal way to gauge how intense your exercise feels, based on your own sense of effort.

It’s usually scored on a scale from 1–10 (or 6–20 on the Borg scale) and takes into account factors like heart rate, breathing, and muscle fatigue. This makes it a practical method for adjusting workout intensity without needing any devices.

👏Impact Loading👏

An easily forgotten but very important part of strength training to reduce osteopenia, improve tendon elasticity and overall muscle conditioning.
Impact improves Bone Density by telling the brain to increase the thickness and mineral density of the hardest outer layer of the bone. This is a crucial part of managing degenerative conditions including osteopenia and osteoporosis.

Here we have some examples of how we can incorporate impact loading in a safe, progressive exercise plan ✨

⭐️ Running on the spot
⭐️ Sit to stands: progress with a vertical jump to increase impact through the lower limbs
⭐️Stomping marches: must stomp hard into ground for impact
⭐️ Vertical Jumps
⭐️Step offs: stepping (not jumping) from a small height landing on both leg
⭐️ Tall Shorts
⭐️ Lateral bounds

✨Scooters on the reformer ✨
Placing the sole of your foot up into the shoulder pad and pushing the bad away with one leg.
⭐️This can be done with different levels of assistance using none, one or both hands on the foot bar.
Adding a hip hinge while holding the bed steady is a great way to work different muscles around the hip which work to stabilise our whole body.
⭐️ if mobility is a problem for you, adding a Pilates block under the knee can add stability and height if your bed is particularly low.
