Stroke can be a major cause of long-term disability—but recovery doesn’t stop after the initial treatment. 🧠
Physiotherapy plays an important role in stroke rehabilitation and can support recovery at different stages:
🔹 Early after stroke — helping with movement, positioning and preventing complications
🔹 During recovery — working on strength, balance, coordination and mobility
🔹 After discharge — continuing rehabilitation to improve independence and day-to-day functioning
The right rehabilitation plan, started at the appropriate time and continued consistently, can make an important difference in a stroke survivor’s recovery and quality of life.
In this video, I explain why physiotherapy has an important place in stroke care—from the early stages through long-term rehabilitation.
If someone in your family has suffered a stroke, don’t overlook rehabilitation. Talk to your neurologist and physiotherapy team about an appropriate recovery plan.
