Stroke Rehabilitation
Expert physiotherapy for stroke recovery
Rebuilding movement, independence, and confidence — at home or in clinic
Understanding Stroke Recovery
A stroke interrupts blood supply to part of the brain, affecting movement, balance, speech, or sensation depending on the area involved.
Rehabilitation matters because the brain can reorganise and relearn. Structured, repetitive, task-specific therapy is what drives that recovery — and starting early makes a measurable difference.
Stroke Symptoms & Warning Signs
Recognising a stroke quickly protects brain tissue — act F.A.S.T.
Face Drooping
One side of the face droops or feels numb; the smile is uneven.
Arm Weakness
One arm is weak or numb and drifts downward when raised.
Speech Difficulty
Speech is slurred, or the person cannot repeat a simple sentence.
Time to Act
Call emergency services immediately — treatment is time-critical.
Other Symptoms
Vision problems, dizziness, loss of balance, severe headache, or swallowing difficulty.
