Stroke Survivor and Charity founder Dr Tom , Director of ARNI Stroke Rehab UK, doing crucifix hold for time in comp ;) This is ReTraining Challenge (rehab + training + challenge!)
This my ultimate goal 🙏🏽
I'll have to get some weights and give it a try🤞
Awesome!
💪
I'm so disappointed. I was all set to book a session with my local ARNI physio, to help with my stroke recovery but my doctors won't sign the consent form.it didn't even get past the receptionist. I've been in and complained but they still won't sign. I'm gutted!!
Fortunately, thanks to the brain’s natural neuroplasticity, it is possible to regain some muscle strength and function after stroke. Passive range-of-motion exercises can help activate the brain but the key addition is also to engage in regular and intensive training/therapy and be facilitated to self-rehab as much as possible/become as independent as possible.
This pic shows David Francis Neurological rehabilitation Wales - NRW and Mariola Piskarkiewicz 'guiding and guarding' an ARNI patient. With enough hard work, with what Tom calls, some 'oomph', you can definitely begin to see progress in your stroke recovery.

Big news for many of us coping with post-stroke pain 👋 Researchers have made a remarkable discovery about how post-stroke pain signals are activated. They found that certain neurons actually release an enzyme called VLK (Vertebrate Lonesome Kinase) from outside the cell. The really exciting part is this: in lab studies, removing or blocking this specific enzyme was shown to effectively dull post-stroke pain without impairing normal movement or sensation! 😮
It turns out this enzyme plays a crucial role in activating the pain signals that many stroke survivors unfortunately experience. This is huge because a major challenge with current pain medications is that they often come with significant side effects, including grogginess or reduced mobility. The potential to target the VLK enzyme specifically offers a new pathway for pain relief that could improve our quality of life dramatically without these drawbacks.
ARNI Stroke Rehab UK says that this research points towards a future with more effective, targeted pain management options for stroke survivors without the horrible side-effects which most drugs have. It’s a wonderful example of science leading the way to better recovery outcome 🙏💖

Oh hello 😅
Upper limb impairment is a common and persistent consequence of stroke, significantly affecting an individual’s independence and quality of life. The evidence shows clearly that the cornerstone of effective motor recovery is task-specific practice, a principle underpinned by evidence from neuroscience and motor learning theory. This approach posits that the brain re-organises itself in response to intensive and repetitive functional training, fostering neuroplasticity.
In the private and home rehabilitation settings, stroke survivors can engage in task-specific practice very easily by themselves or with the help of an ARNI Stroke Rehab UK trainer or physio. The rationale is that by repeatedly and intensively practicing meaningful, real-world activities, from lifting a cup to getting dressed, the brain reorganises neural pathways, improving the control over motor functions relevant to those specific tasks.
This approach moves beyond general exercises to focus directly on the functional skills that enhance independence, motivating patients through visible, goal-oriented progress.

THE LATEST STROKE RECOVERY NEWS INCL. Tiny Microrobots to Deliver Clot-busting Drugs -
Meet David Turner, a stroke survivor from Cuckfield, who lives close to the ARNI base in Lingfield, Surrey. After his stroke, David couldn't talk for two months 😥. But he found an incredible path back to communication: singing! He joined a local singing group in Cuckfield which is specifically designed for stroke survivors (Melodic Intonation Therapy). And he's found that now he simply cannot stop singing! 🎤😂
Has anyone on ARNI Stroke Rehab & Recovery page done the same thing?? Please let us know! This is a powerful example of neuroplasticity at its finest; singing uses different parts of the brain than speaking, and for many survivors, it can compliment speech therapy.
The joy, community, and therapeutic benefits of joining a group like this are immense. It also helps with breath control, rhythm, muscle coordination and boosts confidence and mental well-being. Good stuff David! 🌟

You have to stretch your upper limb (gently), knowing at the same time simply stretching won’t bring recovery. You have to be task-focused. So, when you do a stretch, you then do something challenging and specific functionally with the stretch. For example, stretch, then try to pick a hairbrush up and put it into a cupboard.
Taken from the book Had A Stroke? Now What? by Tom Balchin.

The more you engage in passive exercise, the stronger the connection between your brain and muscles should become. When this connection is strong enough, you can begin to regain minimal movement in your affected limb. Once you can move a bit, you must engage in repetitive, active exercises to continue strengthening those neural pathways.
Call us on 0203 053 0111 or email support@arni.k.com if you need a trainer to help you with your recovery.

Hey everyone! 👋 I wanted to share a super practical and helpful tip for those of us with a paretic leg or drop-foot who love using a stationary exercise bike but struggle to keep our foot securely on the pedal! It can be so frustrating when our foot slips off mid-cycle 😥.

These clever pedals come with adjustable straps that comfortably and securely hold your foot in place. This means you can pedal with confidence, without worrying about your foot dropping or sliding off. It allows for a more consistent and safer exercise session, which is vital for building strength, improving circulation, and helping with recovery! 💪
It's all about adapting our environment to suit our bodies and not letting these challenges stop us from getting our legs stronger and getting cardiovascularly active! 🚴♀️🚴♂️
Check out options like the CyclingDeal pedals online (they usually just clip onto your existing exercise bike pedals). Could make the difference for your workout routine and help you get back into a regular exercise groove! 🌟 Keep pedalling, keep strong, and keep moving forward together! ❤️
