{DID YOU KNOW} Physiotherapy can help you or your loved one recover from a stroke.
Physiotherapists play an integral role in stroke recovery and can help improve the lives of those who have suffered a stroke. Here are some of the ways physiotherapists provide assistance:
1. Physiotherapists are a key member of a healthcare team. A physiotherapist can work with you while you are in the hospital and once you return home from your hospital stay. At the Life Therapies clinic, our team offers orthopaedic and neurologic physiotherapy.
2. Post-stroke physiotherapy has a focus on restoring physical functions and mobility.
3. Physiotherapy is also beneficial for helping manage and reduce pain after stroke.
4. Physiotherapists will not only design customized treatment plans, but they can provide assistance in selecting the best mobility and assistive devices to help you make a safe recovery and to improve your physical activity.
5. Finally, physiotherapy following a stroke may include prevention tips and a program to help reduce risk factors for a second stroke.
