What is bilateral training?
The idea behind it is that symmetrical bilateral movements activate similar neural networks in both hemispheres of the brain. So, when you use the same muscle groups on the good and bad side simultaneously, activation of the undamaged hemisphere may promote promote neural plasticity and activate the damaged hemisphere.

Have YOU got aphasia?
Approximately 40% of stroke survivors experience this difficulty: to comprehend or produce spoken or written language caused by a cerebrovascular accident. In half of these cases the language impairment still persists one year post-stroke. Aphasia has wide-ranging effects on the ability to function and quality of life of stroke survivors and easily leads to social isolation.
If you need help, ARNI SLT Telerehab can now help YOU, right now, wherever you are in the world!
The latest evidence shows clearly that you can conquer aphasia very successfully with the help of speech and language therapy.
And it also shows that SLT Telerehab is just as effective as in-person, face to face treatment.
We have a team of highly experienced low-cost specialist SLTs (all post-grads from Universities such as UCL, the University of Cape Town etc) who are available to help you right now, in your home, via Zoom. You get a one to one hourly service, based around your diary needs, from the comfort of your own home, with a highly experienced specialist speech and language therapist. Please enquire to arni.uk.com/get-remote-speech-language-help-now/ !

Repetitive actions engage neuroplasticity and cause changes in the brain. Therefore, a key aspect in stroke recovery is massed practice: exercises with high repetition.
When you perform an action, your brain creates new neural pathways in response to your movement. These pathways make it easier for the brain to store and retrieve information. The more you practice that action, the more you reinforce those neural pathways, and the easier that activity becomes..
Whatever ability you want to improve, with enough practice, you will activate neuroplasticity and help your brain heal itself after stroke. Eventually, you should start to regain that function.

ARNI works with stroke survivors “stuck in limbo” after their therapy programme ends.
Via a network of specialist instructors and therapists across the UK, survivors learn ARNI’s functional “retraining” strategies aimed at enabling them to take charge of their own recovery.
It offers intensive one-to-one sessions in the home, training manuals and DVDs which encourage stroke survivors to continually work on their rehabilitation. Classes are paid for by the client, although often at a reduced rate. Tom Balchin, however, has always been a volunteer in his own charity and has never taken any payment for his input. The programme is designed to speed clients from the stage where an NHS therapist becomes unavailable, to making recommended activities part of their daily life as they work towards more independence.
The approach is now the adopted model for combined rehab and exercise after stroke for a number of UK areas.
