Neurological
Post-Stroke Recovery
Rebuilding movement, balance and independence through task-specific practice.

Recovery after stroke is driven largely by repetition of meaningful tasks. Physiotherapy structures that practice safely, at a difficulty level that challenges without overwhelming.
Goals are set with the patient and family, and progress is reviewed against function rather than abstract measures.
