Stroke
Recovery after a stroke can feel overwhelming—but with the right support, progress is not only possible, it's expected. At Access Physical Therapy, we help stroke survivors restore strength, relearn movement, and reclaim independence through skilled, compassionate, and personalized rehabilitation.
What It Is
A stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is interrupted, causing damage to brain cells. The effects depend on the area of the brain affected, but may include:
Weakness or paralysis (often one-sided)
Impaired balance and coordination
Speech and swallowing difficulties
Numbness, vision changes, or sensory loss
Difficulty walking, dressing, or performing daily activities
Fatigue or post-stroke cognitive changes
Every stroke is different—so every recovery plan should be too.
What to Expect
We create an individualized treatment plan focused on regaining function, restoring independence, and reconnecting your mind and body. Your therapy may include:
Functional strength training and mobility work
Gait and balance retraining to reduce fall risk
Task-specific practice (getting out of bed, climbing stairs, etc.)
Neuromuscular re-education to improve movement patterns
Core stabilization and posture correction
Visual and vestibular integration
Energy conservation strategies and caregiver education
Whether you're weeks or years post-stroke, we meet you where you are and help you move forward.
Who It’s For
Individuals recovering from ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke
Patients with one-sided weakness, balance issues, or gait difficulties
Survivors aiming to regain independence in daily life
Adults experiencing post-stroke fatigue, stiffness, or mobility limitations
Family members and caregivers seeking tools and guidance
Why It Matters
Stroke can change your life in an instant—but recovery is a journey, not a moment. With consistent, targeted therapy, you can rebuild strength, relearn movement, and return to what matters most—step by step, day by day.
We’re here to walk that path with you.
