A stroke can happen to anyone, at any time and at any age! 80% of all strokes are preventable.
Strokes are on the rise and it is important to know the signs because with a stroke the earlier the patients gets medical attention, the less permanent damage to the brain. The signs of stroke are easy to remember
F - Face Dropping : If there is a dropping to one side of the face
A - Arm weakness : Sudden weakness on one side of the body
S - Speech : Change in speech, difficulty in talking or slurred speech
T - Time : As mentioned previously acting fast is the most important to prevent long term devastating effects
If you are unfortunate to experience a stroke, Biokinetics can help rehabilitate the effects caused by stroke. Strokes are largely treatable. Exercise can improve your strength, improve your walking and improve sensation. We have had great success with stroke patients in our practice in helping improve their symptoms and quality of life. It is most important that the program is tailor made to each patient. There are also many risks associated with stroke patients, hence having supervised sessions with a biokineticist is essential.
