Balance difficulties after stroke? Get a reasonably strong person or your trainer to CHALLENGE your balance - here's the 'clinch' method - it's very very safe and ultra-effective. Appropriateness is a factor of course, common to many training modes. There are many varieties: the 'ruck n'maul' can be used for those with more balance, for instance etc. Your ARNI Stroke Rehab & Recovery Instructor will show you - have fun! From Tom

Remember, you are now in ‘warrior stroke survivor’ mode as opposed to ‘gentle, fluffy stroke survivor mode’. You need to come out fighting, but you need to be informed… and gaining feedback about your excellent progress as much as you can. You need to drive this.

Here's an article which talks about when we train our bodies – such as lifting weights at the gym – the other, untrained side benefits because of the cross-educational effect: the muscles not being trained adapt and show signs of improvements anyway. They're thinking this can help people who have suffered a stroke.

New research to help strengthen our understanding of stroke recovery
www.northamptonchron.co.uk
University of Northampton academics are looking to improve movement and flexibility for people who have had a stroke.
This is what Scott says about his training to become an ARNI Instructor:
I am a personal trainer / strength & conditioning coach that has spent a number of years working under private physiotherapists as part of their community rehabilitation team. I found working with stroke survivors extremely rewarding and wanted to improve my knowledge of the subject and the effectiveness of the service I offered.
ARNI Institute’s functional rehabilitation and exercise training after stroke qualification was recommended to me by a physio friend of mine. I was immediately impressed by the detailed course description on their website and reassured by the fact that they limited the numbers on the course to maintain a high level of service.
Course days are led by Dr Tom Balchin who is warm, welcoming, witty (ish!) and an absolute expert in stroke rehabilitation. As a stroke survivor himself he has personally overcome adversity to achieve an incredible level of function. He is the course and his stroke survivor manual is a blueprint of how to improve every possible issue facing stroke survivors. The practical & visual learning of the course days suited me perfectly and the opportunity to interact and work with a number of stroke survivors arranged by ARNI as part of the course was invaluable. This was all backed up by interactive online modules to help our learning of this complex subject.
Dr Tom was calm and relaxed throughout the process telling us what we needed to learn & when to be prepared for each upcoming stage. He was quick to reply to any questions and kept us updated with regular emails.

It's just a puty there are no ARNI stroke specialists in our area.
It’s really important that survivors are guided to autonomous retraining efforts, if possible, in order that they may fulfil goals and thrive rather than decline, become dependent on others or just re-enter the care pathway.
“This is really hard to achieve, but one by one, over the years, ARNI has helped a vast amount of people. I’m proud of this and of the way that, by its sincere efforts, ARNI has gained the trust and support of professionals in neurorehabilitation over the years.” Tom Balchin, ARNI Director

Your brain is very good at problem-solving. We are masters at changing the environment and our suit ourselves. Our imagination, reasoning, emotional subtlety and toughness make it possible. You can see how easily you can set everything up so that you can make do without the use of one arm, in just the same way as those who lose a limb or one or more of their operating senses. But you know that there is no need to do so; you just need to find the right route.
If you like this post then please share it with others. Each time that you share a post, you can directly help other people – as who knows which people in the world might find us and gain, either directly from the charity or simply by being able to copy an ‘innovative and useful’ move/trick of the trade that might help them manage after stroke.
Every time you share, you could directly help someone – as knowledge is power 😉
