Three main stroke recovery therapies
Occupational Therapy
This therapy is a misnomer. It has nothing to do with your occupation. Instead, occupational therapy will focus on small muscles like your hands, and also life skills like brushing your teeth, driving, and cooking. Check out our pages for driving, wrist rehab, and kitchen tools for occupational therapy tips.
Speech Therapy
Speech therapy is another misnomer. Speech therapy does help correct your impaired speech, but it is much bigger than that. Speech therapy will also work on impaired cognitive skills such as speed of processing, deductive, reasoning, and situational awareness. Check out our page for voice rehab for voice focused speech therapy tips.
Physical Therapy
Here you will work on relearning to walk, you will work with your physical therapist to learn how to use a walker, a cane, and if possible, how to walk properly. Check out our pages for leg, arm, shoulder, and foot rehab for physical therapy tips.
