Physical therapy can have a significantly positive impact on the recovery of those who have experienced a stroke. A physical therapist can help teach patients more about their condition while working through guided exercises designed to improve range of motion, increase overall strength, and help regain mobility. Engaging in a physical therapy program can also help reduce the likelihood of developing contractures, or the tightening of muscles, which can lead to permanent loss of function.
In addition to these benefits, patients can also learn techniques to improve balance, coordination, and posture, which will assist in everyday tasks such as standing, walking, and getting dressed. Most importantly, physical therapy can give a renewed sense of hope, confidence, and independence, ultimately improving their overall quality of life.
