Have you ever heard of 'Beauty Parlor Stroke Syndrome'? 💇♀️ A new study highlights this rare but serious condition, caused by the hyperextension of the neck when you lean back into a salon shampoo bowl.
For a small number of people, this position can put pressure on the vertebral arteries in the neck, leading to a stroke. Research shows that 80% of those affected were women of varying ages. While extremely rare, it's a good reminder to protect your neck 🧠 Next time you're at the salon, you can ask for a rolled-up towel to support your neck or adjust the chair to prevent it from being tilted too far back.
Signs and symptoms of BPSS are similar to a stroke and can include weakness or numbness on one side of the body, confusion, trouble speaking or swallowing, vision changes, dizziness, and severe headaches. Additional symptoms may involve nausea, vomiting, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and vertigo or loss of balance. If these symptoms occur, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention.

⚠️ Don't skip breakfast! A major new study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology has revealed a strong link between missing your morning meal and a significantly increased risk of death from stroke. 🧠
Researchers found that forgoing breakfast was associated with a higher likelihood of cardiovascular events. Experts are urging everyone to make time for this vital meal, emphasizing its role in maintaining overall health.
Making a simple change to your daily routine could be a key step in protecting your long-term health. 🍳🍓☕

Training with Tom online video
Real-life training on the mat with Dr Tom. He takes a stroke survivor through a training session (although an extended one in order to show you lots more things you can do). Starting with a warm-up, you will see the stroke survivor guided through a session where he is does first static exercises, gait control work, balance training, strength training and some seriou supper limb training. You will see how to put everything you’ve seen on online videos 1 to 6 into practice – and you’ll see a stroke survivor starting to work on the edges of his current ability in many areas, particularly when challenging his upper limb. This video is where many of the exercises, techniques and strategies will really come to life for you as you see how they work together, if practised carefully and with some dedication, to produce a trainee who is totally transformed in terms of action control, strength and confidence in the ability to move and function normally in society again.

HOW TO GAIN THE MOST BENEFITS FROM E-STIM FOR STROKE REHABILITATION
Combining electrical stimulation with exercise is more effective for stroke patients than just exercise alone.
While some forms of electrical stimulation are passive (involving no participation on your behalf), e-stim for stroke survivors should be active. This means you should try to engage your muscles yourself when you feel the electrical current activate.
When you are engaged in therapy exercises during e-stim, it helps to further engage the brain-muscle connection. This will in turn increase the amount of motor control you can gain back.
Exercise without electrical stimulation can still activate neuroplasticity and help stroke survivors regain movement. For maximum benefit, though, the science is clear: combining e-stim with exercise is the best way to go.

THE LATEST STROKE RECOVERY NEWS INCL: A revolutionary breakthrough from Stanford University’s Department of Mechanical Engineering and Neuroimaging, published in Nature in June 2025, promises dramatic possibilities. Researchers, including Renee Shao and Jeremy Heit, have unveiled a novel spinning micro-device, the ‘milli-spinner,’ designed to remove brain clots with unprecedented precision and effectiveness.

A new breakthrough in stroke treatment is here! Stanford scientists have created a spinning micro-device that removes brain clots with unmatched precision, potentially doubling survival rates for stroke patients.
This could become a life-saving tool in hospitals worldwide where every second counts in stroke response.
Unlike traditional procedures, this device spins to break apart clots without harming delicate brain tissue, drastically improving recovery chances. Doctors believe its minimally invasive design could also reduce long-term disability, giving patients not just survival but quality of life back.
With strokes being a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, this innovation could save millions of lives and set a new gold standard for emergency brain care. No wonder experts are calling it one of the most promising advances in neurosurgery in the past decade. 🚑✨

Neuroplasticity is activated by experience and massed practice; which requires repetition and consistency. Each time a task is practiced, it stimulates the brain and strengthens the neural connections responsible for that task. (This is how children learn how to walk, write, and talk). The same concept applies to stroke rehabilitation. When a survivor struggles with leg movement, for example, they can work to regain function by practicing leg exercises on a consistent basis. This helps improve the brain’s ability to send signals to the leg that tell it when to move, improving efficiency and overall function.
Repetition and consistency are the key to stroke recovery.
