  • What is a stroke?

    A stroke is caused by a disruption of blood flow to the brain as a result of a blockage or leakage in a blood vessel. Like all organs, the brain needs oxygen and nutrients provided by blood to function properly. If the supply of blood is restricted or stopped, brain cells begin to die. The effects of a stroke vary depending on the severity of the blockage or leakage but can affect movement, speech, memory and emotions, making everyday tasks difficult. A stroke can lead to brain injury, disability and possibly death.

  • How does physiotherapy help people who have suffered a stroke?
    Physiotherapy enables people to relearn lost abilities, regain independence and reduce the risk of further strokes. Our specialist neurological physiotherapists encouraged and actively participate in the rehabilitation of stroke patients and work closely with care teams on the patient’s road to recovery.
