Post Stroke

Can you fully recover from a stroke? To answer this question, I look at the research, share experiences from stroke survivors, & share what I've observed as an OT! https://lnkd.in/ewhPaTYs #stroke #strokerecovery #strokerehab #strokerehabilitation #strokerecovery #recover #fullrecovery #progress #recovery #strokesurvivor #strokesurvivors #therapy #braininjury #neuro #brain #poststroke #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapist #speechtherapy #speechtherapist #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization

A new study found that one thing in particular can improve walking and balance after stroke. I breakdown the study but also provide exercises based on this study’s findings to help improve walking and balance at home! https://lnkd.in/eZTyZM5e #stroke #strokerecovery #strokerehab #strokerehabilitation #strokerecovery #walk #walking #gait #balance #recovery #strokesurvivor #strokesurvivors #therapy #braininjury #neuro #brain #poststroke #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapist #speechtherapy #speechtherapist #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization

Let’s talk about the most surprising, unexpected side effects that can happen after a stroke, what you can do about them, and I provide extra resources so you can learn more ?? #stroke #strokerecovery #strokerehab #strokerehabilitation #strokerecovery #unexpected #surprise #surprising #sideeffects #recovery #strokesurvivor #strokesurvivors #therapy #braininjury #neuro #brain #poststroke #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapist #speechtherapy #speechtherapist #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization?

The 3 stages of stroke recovery: acute, subacute and chronic. I’ll cover what’s happening in each of them and what should you be doing in each to maximize your recovery! https://lnkd.in/e-8xFNk9 #stroke #strokerecovery #strokerehab #strokerehabilitation #strokerecovery # recovery #strokesurvivor #strokesurvivors #therapy #braininjury #neuro #brain #poststroke #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapist #speechtherapy #speechtherapist #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization

Ultra processed foods (UPFs) make up around 60% of the average U.S. adult’s diet and it’s becoming evident that they’re quietly fueling a health crisis around the world. I explain how we got here, how UPFs impact health including increasing stroke risk, and give 5 practical tips to help you reduce UPFs in your diet. https://lnkd.in/eHUphDm6 #stroke #strokerecovery #strokerehab #strokerehabilitation #strokerecovery #food #foods #ultraprocessedfood #ultraprocessedfoods #health #healthcrisis #wholefood #wholefoods recovery #strokesurvivor #strokesurvivors #therapy #braininjury #neuro #brain #poststroke #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapist #speechtherapy #speechtherapist #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization

You might think that you need expensive, futuristic sounding rehab equipment to make progress after a stroke. I’ll explain why that’s not true and how you already have everything you need for your movement recovery at home! https://lnkd.in/eykMSsFU #stroke #strokerecovery #strokerehab #strokerehabilitation #strokerecovery #whatyouneed #useitorloseit #useittoimproveit #principle #neuroscience #neuroplasticity #recovery #strokesurvivor #strokesurvivors #therapy #braininjury #neuro #brain #poststroke #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapist #speechtherapy #speechtherapist #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization

Neuropathy: pain, tingling, burning, pins and needles, numbness. I explain why it happens, why so many stroke survivors have it, and what you can do about it! https://lnkd.in/euVUSHkH #stroke #strokerecovery #strokerehab #strokerehabilitation #strokerecovery #strokeawareness #pain #chronicpain #neuropathy #sensation #recovery #strokesurvivor #strokesurvivors #therapy #braininjury #neuro #brain #poststroke #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization?

These are the worst, most common mistakes I see therapists make when treating stroke survivors. https://lnkd.in/epS3mn6B #stroke #strokerecovery #strokerehab #strokerehabilitation #strokerecovery #strokeawareness #mistakes #worst #worstmistakes #commonmistakes #commonmistake #dontdothis #recovery #strokesurvivor #strokesurvivors #therapy #braininjury #neuro #brain #poststroke #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization

Sensory changes after stroke are often overlooked. I cover the most common types, why they happen, if they’ll go away, and treatments to try at home based on evidence! https://lnkd.in/enCQJbHD #stroke #strokerecovery #strokerehab #strokerehabilitation #strokerecovery #sensory #sensorychanges #overstimulation #sensoryoverload #pinsandneedles #tingling #numbness #photosensitivity #hypersensitivity #strokeawareness #recovery #strokesurvivor #strokesurvivors #therapy #braininjury #neuro #brain #poststroke #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization

There are so many benefits of aerobic exercise, and it’s even been shown in recent research to help improve cognition after stroke. This 20 MIN cardio workout can be done at home without equipment. While this is an advanced workout, I offer modifications in seated positions and for one-sided weakness! https://lnkd.in/e3Cs5N_d #stroke #strokerecovery #strokerehab #strokerehabilitation #strokerecovery #strokeawareness #recovery #strokesurvivor #strokesurvivors #therapy #cardio #aerobic #aerobicexercise #cardiovascular #exercise #exercises braininjury #neuro #brain #poststroke #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization #education
