Contact ARNI for Home Based Rehab with a Qualified Instructor
We are on Facebook
In terms of physical activity, I encourage you to incorporate a variety of exercises in to your lifestyle. Particularly things like getting out of your home and walking as well as you can (accompanied as appropriate), swimming (swimming classes for stroke survivors are often available and run by some ARNI INSTRUCTORS) and are a great way to socialise while achieving something.
Physical activity, rehab activity and cardio activity – each one followed by kettle and mug activity!
All is possible!

ARNI has a Zoom-based speech and language service with specialist SLT colleagues; which is already proving to be extremely successful! Go to ARNI WEBSITE if you need help. . Aphasia occurs in as many as 40% of stroke survivors, making it the most common communication disorder caused by stroke, but many people conquer aphasia completely.

Please look out for my enquiry on your website that I have just sent. I’m really struggling and would appreciate your help…
Some people find routinely practicing a set of exercises to be most motivating path toward recovery; while others prefer to integrate rehab into their day.
What do you prefer?

2025 - Unfortunately, even though new brain studies are showing the amazing possibilities of neuroplasticity, many patients are not getting as much functional movement back as they think they ought to be able to achieve with some extra support…
Along with post-stroke weakness in one or more limbs, stroke survivors OF ALL AGES can be/become: de-conditioned: result of immobility, fatigued on a daily basis, have insufficient underlying motor activity to start the kind of task-related practice they need to do etc.
The recovery process needs to be initiated through tailored training programming specific to the individual – with a goal of autonomy over ‘retraining’ efforts and/or in combination with other worthwhile interventions.
The ARNI approach contains an abundance of techniques designed to prime the body for attempts at sufficient repetitions daily in order to stoke/drive plastic changes.

Have you actively searched for physios in Scotland to train?
.6 TARGETS YOU NEED TO HAVE AS GOALS AFTER STROKE
Even if you have hired the help of a trainer or a therapist to get you started (advised), you must have input towards your own rehabilitation and the way you want to go. Knowledge is power.
My aim is to show you exactly how to achieve 6 things:
1. Correct balance, co-ordination and posture over time
2. Increase muscular, tendon and ligament strength and fitness over time
3. Decrease spasticity and increase specific functional movement return over time
4. Increase confidence and remove fear of the consequences of exercising
5. Become progressively more self-sufficient
6. Become productive in an occupation and be happy with life
Can you take up the challenge? These can all be achieved by you to a certain degree, however old you are, if you want them badly enough and are prepared to sacrifice some time and effort. Can a generic programme be created? For example, is there one ‘programme’ that will fit everyone? It would be much easier that way, right?
The simple answer is ‘no’. But there are many things that all stroke survivors must do, and many things that most will need to do. You will start with basic tasks that you need to master in order that you can work towards more complex tasks.
Everything you do will rewire your brain: by doing more, you will develop more motor control and gain strength. You will ‘get nothing by doing nothing’.
Please understand that the degree to which brain repair, neural rewiring and neurogenesis happens can be influenced very significantly long after the short therapeutic window after stroke may close.
So, I hope to emphasise to you with this post that the regain of functional movement with control, strength, flexibility, stability and essential physical coping strategies are highly individual, relying as they do on your own genetics, status of accompanying medical problems, attitude (drive, persistence, desire and motivation) and so very many other factors.
The longer you’re a stroke survivor, the more you’ll notice that you can ‘win’ or control (manage) many of these but others will have to be accepted. And, I have to tell you, that re-training efforts can never stop, throughout the rest of your life. Sounds like bad news?! Not so… I’ll show why, in a forthcoming post.
Long term stroke survivors reading this will be nodding to themselves. New stroke survivors will get to understand what I mean. The good news? ‘Retraining’ can very soon phase into an enjoyable and social physical activity wherein you are actively rehabilitating. So encouragingly, it seems that ‘formal training’ is finite… but it must be done right so you can phase into a maintaining status quo in some areas and regularly improve in others (usually micro-improvements).
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 ;)

The evidence base shows that you MUST perform some exercises routinely to help yourself to recover well. But what do you actually do?? in the Successful Stroke Survivor DVDs Dr Tom Balchin shows you the best (most generalisable) strategies from the best-selling manual The Successful Stroke Survivor.
