    From Loss to Strength: How Physical Therapy Can Help Stroke Patients Regain Mobility

    May 30, 2024

    Stroke stands as one of the leading causes of long-term disability globally, affecting millions of individuals each year. It occurs when the blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. Brain cells begin to die in minutes. A stroke can result in lasting brain damage, long-term disability, or even death. Recovering mobility and independence post-stroke is a critical challenge for many survivors. Physical therapy plays a pivotal role in the rehabilitation process, helping individuals regain strength and coordination.
