Stroke Rehabilitation
Physiotherapy plays an important role in stroke recovery. Treatment can begin early after a stroke and continue long-term. Even if your stroke occurred months or years ago, physiotherapy can still help you improve strength, movement, balance, and independence.
Common goals after stroke include:
- Improving walking and balance
- Regaining arm and hand function
- Increasing endurance
- Improving transfers (such as getting in and out of bed or chairs)
- Building confidence with daily activities
What to Expect at Cotton Mill Rehab
At your initial visit, your physiotherapist will:
- Review your medical history
- Assess your movement, balance, and strength
- Discuss your goals and daily challenges
- Create a personalized treatment plan
Treatment may include guided exercises, walking and balance training, functional movement practice, and education for you and your caregivers.
A Team Approach to Your Care
Neurological rehabilitation often involves a team. At Cotton Mill Rehab, we may work alongside your physician, occupational therapist, speech-language pathologist, and caregivers to support your recovery.
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
Living with a neurological condition or recovering from a stroke can feel overwhelming—but you are not alone. Physiotherapy at Cotton Mill Rehab is focused on helping you make progress at your own pace and supporting you every step of the way.
