Strokes

Excellence in Patient Care

Many stroke survivors are told recovery stops after three to six months, this is dated advice. Research suggests that – with the right advice and exercises – significant recovery is still possible years after a stroke.

​

In your initial assessment, we will discuss your symptoms and difficulties, establish what your goals are and then examine your function and assess your impairments. This will lead our team to tailoring an individualized treatment plan designed to help you reach your goals.

​

Common areas we can assist with include standing and walking re-training, balance and postural exercises, recovery of arm function, recovery of lower limb function, working on muscle strength and flexibility, muscle spasticity management, orthotic requirements and assistance with pain management.

We work closely with our exercise physiologists and remedial masseuses amongst a variety of other team members. 

Your sessions may be completed in your home, local gym or hydrotherapy pool or at our in clinic gym. Our overall goal at Functional Xcellence is to make you as independent as possible, to enable you to be able to carry out more Activities of Daily Living and thus enhance your quality of life.
