After a stroke, the neural connections between the brain and muscles can become weakened or destroyed. This explains why a stroke survivor might lose strength in their hand following their stroke. Engaging the brain’s neuroplasticity enables a person to rebuild those neural connections and regain control of their muscles.
If you need help to rebuild your neural connections find out more about how we can help you on our website.

Another great review of The Successful Stroke Survivor book!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Another must have from Dr Tom Balchin
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 August 2022
Why this book isn't given to every stroke survivor, I just don't know.
Packed with absolutely everything required to begin the road back to recovery.
Essential physical techniques and plenty of accurate, trusted information and advice.
All from a stroke survivor so this is real, proven and effective training, essential reading for both a stroke survivor and partner, relative etc.
So many ideas for training including task boards, home made training equipment at a fraction of the cost.
I'm genuinely surprised that this book is not a priority for all those suffering from the effects of stroke.
10 out of 10!
Have you got your copy yet??

Successful Stroke Survivor Manual – Stroke Solutions
www.strokesolutions.co.uk
This book/manual was written by a stroke survivor for stroke survivors. Part-book and part-manual for those who have suffered a stroke and reached the end of formal stroke rehabilitation therapy. The ...
Calling stroke survivors in Cornwall! If you've had a stroke in the past 10 years have been asked to participate in a transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation study. As you know, at ARNI, upper limb rehab for people who have had a stroke tends to consist of lots of repetitive activities with the arm, strengthening exercises.
This means using the arm a lot in functional tasks. BUT maybe the current rehabilitation process could be improved with this kind of stimulation in a clinic then backed up by ARNI retraining?
Staff at NHS Cornwall Partnership Trust's research team and stroke and neurological rehabilitation service will look at ways to help arm recovery after a stroke. The trial is known as Triceps (transcutaneous limb recovery post-stroke) and is led by researchers from Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Sheffield.
Liz Tremayne-Ward, team lead for the trust’s stroke and neurological rehabilitation service, said 'we rarely get studies that focus on people with strokes further down the line in their stroke recovery so for us it’s about developing evidence. This is an exciting opportunity to get something evidence-based to under-pin practice."

This is Naunihal's feedback on ARNI Imstructor training course:
I'll start with the customary feedback with regards to the Organisation of the training course, Relevance of the training, Course material, Support, Style/Atmosphere and Delivery of course content; Every aspect of the ARNI FRETS course was EXCELLENT, from the first day to the final submission of my work, I felt that, one -this was an exceptionally well-constructed and applicable course which was not only research based but also ‘pavement’ tested by the course producer and instructor, and secondly that the instructor as well as my colleagues on the course created a very conducive learning environment. The initial gaining of the ARNI FRETS qualification is only the beginning, as research advances, so will our way of delivering the best re-training to Stroke people. That is why CPD is vital in regularly maintaining and updating our skills – it is the only way we can deliver the best support for Stroke people.
I’d like to say ‘THANK YOU’ to Dr Tom Balchin for being an excellent instructor, who has an effective, engaging style that allows his students to challenge themselves and learn. The course was delivered by utilising all the main sensory receivers Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic, which appealed to my way of learning; since my own Stroke I have struggled to find my primary learning sense, with classroom sessions (both seated learning as well as practical) the ARNI FRETS course made it easier for me to learn and then deliver support and autonomy to Stroke people. The use of real Stroke people added to our learning. I appreciate how the training was relevant with the latest research as well as ‘real-life’ seasoned procedures– it’s all well and good what researchers write about but if the research is not relevant to the general stroke survivors, then it is just research. I like the way ARNI utilises all the research and uses what is relevant to each survivor, to improve their quality of life – as one thing may work for one survivor, whilst it may need to be tweaked or changed for someone else – That’s why I think ARNI is affective for all stroke survivors.
My peers on the course were fantastic – there was humour whilst learning and an underlying respect for the trauma that stroke survivors have gone through.
The stroke survivors that allowed us to practice our learning were stars – I really appreciated their being there.
Your ARNI Associate Instructors I met on the course were approachable, supportive and knowledgeable.
I am looking forward to becoming an ARNI Associate Instructor and putting the techniques that I have learnt into practice.
In conclusion, the ARNI FRETS course is a practical, research based and established program that has been designed and refined by a Stroke survivor who just wants to help retrain others to better live their lives after their Stroke. Everyone responds to their Stroke with the best information available at the time – “Even when you stop the world around you keeps moving on”, I strongly believe that Dr Tom Balchin wants to help ALL Stroke survivors better their lives and keep moving after their Stroke.https://arni.uk.com/instructors/5-day-accreditation-for-instructors/

Jeanette says: ‘We thought you might like to see these photos of Dom. I have been working with Dom as an ARNI Instructor for some time now. I have found that his multiple strokes have significantly compromised his capabilities. One of his passions pre stroke was sailing; he is a master yachtsman. I introduced him to Sailability this summer at Rutland Water’.
