My husband had a stroke 2 years ago. He works hard every day to rehab, and Tom Balchin’s book and videos are so helpful. My husband, also named Tom, has not learned how to get up off the floor, however, or to get down. He never felt confident practicing that and in all the PT he did, no-one ever suggested it. Tom is very strong and except for his first week at home from hospital, he had not fallen until last week. Now he is willing to learn the technique, but we cannot go to PT due to Corona Virus, and I am not confident to do it without help. However, we are learning the technique, and I am practicing it, and at least if he falls again, we will have a strategy! I really thought he would be able to get up if he fell, but he couldn’t. Thank God for our neighbor! We are really also grateful to Tom Balchin for dedicating himself to helping stroke survivors. My husband, Tom, is 75 years old, a retired police officer and a determined man, but we needed Tom’s DVDs to help with rehab at home. Thank you.

Video 1 could take away fear and insecurity – huge obstacles of living at our best capacity even surviving a stroke or other brain injuries – of falling and laying on the flour at the mercy of others by teaching us techniques and strategies how to successfully manage these scary situations. In video 2, in 38 minutes, if I counted correctly, we got 11 new exercises, techniques and movement patterns to further improve our strength and skills for controlled and precisely executed muscle work necessary for self-management. It is better to call this target-oriented functional training, as these exercises have deeper aim then just moving the body, increasing muscle strength and joint flexibility. The goal is to cope smoothly and well with the smaller and greater challenges of everyday life.

Another video is focusing on walking. It is full of clear explanations and easy to follow demonstrations of simple and short exercises, techniques, helpful ideas and tips that all support the different phases of using and re-using our legs from hip to toes. If you want to help a stroke survivor or you are a stroke survivor who is ready to get back this vital skill, this part is a must. In another of the videos Dr Tom gives a list and lovely demonstrations of task specific and stroke survivor adapted strength training exercises. Again a must to watch for ideas.

The fifth and sixth videos again are a never-miss piece, full of exercises that all focus on helping to get back the function of the upper limbs which is more difficult than regaining back the strength and function of the lower extremities. Retraining 3-4 days per week is the key to success. Dr Tom with his demonstrations and explanations again gives you all the tools, tricks and encouragement to reach this goal.

These videos are such good guidelines for upper limb rehabilitation. I watched the upper limb volume (along with the volume 5) several times and keep coming back to it in order to remember the techniques as well as for getting further inspiration. I always find something new in it. One thing is to understand the material and another one is to successfully apply these methods to a client who had a stroke. These functional stretching techniques differ so much from traditional physiotherapy and are much more logic within this holistic concept. Moreover, they work.

All DVDs are very important to us for my husband, every move is very precious every minute, thanks for the help, we work every day, we learn. We want good health and good luck Enikő and Ernő

Full of practical tips, drills and ideas, “THE SUCCESSFUL STROKE SURVIVOR” videos are an excellent resource for stroke survivors.
Suzie (Verified Purchase) – (UK)

I definitely recommend these dvds, beautifully presented and easy to follow and very inspirational. I use them now in addition to my private physio to help in my recovery, only wish they were available earlier. Lots of training strategies and exercises developed by Tom, a true expert and stroke survivor. Don’t hesitate buy the complete set.
Nicole Wright (Verified Purchase) – (UK)

I am an ARNI instructor in training and I am finding these videos essential in helping me become a knowledgeable, effective and inspired trainer. I purchased the complete set, along with Dr Balchin’s Stroke Survivor book and I refer to them on a daily basis and I know they will continue to be an indispensable tool in my development. Each technique is clearly explained and demonstrated by Tom and the great thing is that you can pause at any point to try it yourself, or listen back to something. If you are a carer, friend or family member, wanting to help a loved one who has had a stroke then these DVDs are a must.

I found DVD 7 really informative and useful. Seeing Brendan training with Tom and Gabby helps me understand how I can effectively work with stroke survivors in a safe yet challenging way. Seeing some of the functional limitations Brendan has, but how these can effectively be worked on by doing the techniques in the DVDs and stroke survivor book is inspiring. I actually met Brendan at a training day a couple of months ago and I can honestly say that his gait control and upper limb function had both improved and he did tell us that he is still practising most techniques on a regular basis.

DVD 6 is a really useful demonstration on creating your own task related and challenge boards. Tom gives step-by-step instruction to how to make one (I particular like his comment on what DIY stands for!) and then shows you how to use it to effectively train upper limb functionality. Being able to see this process and stop and stop the video as many times as I need is indispensable in helping my understanding and my journey to hopefully being a highly effective ARNI instructor.

As a former Royal Marine, these exercises have been paramount in improving the functional use of both my arm and hand. I would wholly recommend ‘DVD Volume 5’ to anyone who wishes to improve their condition, following a stroke.
Russ Kennedy (Verified Purchase) – (USA)

It’s my pleasure to recommend the Stroke Solutions DVD. I purchased the book, The Successful Stroke Survivor, about five years ago but found that I needed to be shown how to do certain exercises. Since I have obtained the affordable and worthwhile DVD, I continually refer to it. I wish that you had been able to make it available sooner. Many thanks. Russ Kennedy PhD, MBA, MPH

Don’t muck about umming and aahing! Just get the lot! Tom will then help get you going. Tom is really easy to listen to; clear and thoughtful. Then, when he gets down to it, he shows you how it’s done. Tom is strong and agile but his fluent movement is as a result of hard work. If you get half as good as Tom, you’ve gone a long way. The DVDs are, in my view, essential viewing for stroke survivors, their family and friends and those training to become rehab trainers.

I had an AVM stroke 1st June 2010.We were in France. My wife found me on the floor having returned from an art experience there was no way of telling how long I had been there. Maybe 4/5 hours or longer a helicopter was called from Dijon I was flown to a hospital in a coma. Missed out on the view. They did an emergency craniotomy to repair the vein that had burst .I was put in an induced coma for about 2 and a half weeks. When I awoke I was hemiplegic left side. Enough about me. These DVDs are so Amazing I can’t tell you how good they are in words try them yourself. I may even do some of the exercises as my you tube stroke blog when I have enough time in the day . You may have seen me armchair gardening filling and emptying the dishwasher fetching the wood. Everyday life can be achieved after stroke and I owe it all to Dr. Tom Balchin and Arni Institute. Buy the DVDs they are Awesome.

The experience of stroke can be totally bewildering for the patient and their partners/loved ones. One moment getting on with your life fine and the next – BAM! – you’re flat on your back in a hospital bed with only half of your body working properly! Thankfully, a friend with MS put my wife in touch with Tom Balchin (way back in 2005) and since that time I’ve had two ARNI Instructors.

Finally, all his knowledge is distilled into a set of DVDs. They’re pure gold dust, refined over many years experience working with stroke survivors of all ages. I’m working through the exercises in the DVDs and they still form the basis of my twice-weekly physiotherapy and self-rehab programme.
Louis Rowson (Verified Purchase) – (UK)

Found the DVDs very inspirational, I have had a lot of help from the wonderful therapists in North Devon, but need now to move on and I believe Tom’s DVDs will help me. My initial prognosis left me wheelchair bound, but with determination and support I can now walk with support, my left hand is still of very little use but I have been given fresh motivation by the DVDs.
Elizabeth Wallfisch (Verified Purchase) – (UK)

These DVDs are beautifully and compassionately presented by Dr Tom Balchin and his team! Every move, exercise, strategy is clearly described and demonstrated, with many repetitions of the complexities of some of the coping strategies and functional training techniques and drills. I recommend these to every stroke survivor and their families, and carers. As an adjunct to ‘The Successful Stroke Survivor’ the DVDs give strong visual and aural cues to the descriptions in the book. This actually makes the learning of, and thus the effective implementation of the strategies, much more accessible.
Gary Sacheck (Verified Purchase) – (USA)

I am a stroke survivor and agree with the statement that, “knowledge is power” and this video plus all those that accompany this in Tom’s collection deliver that specific knowledge that a stroke survivor needs. This video like all in the collection inspire and provide the variety and “make it fun & interesting” style in your exercises to help you keep your rehab progressing.

Video 1 is excellent functionally and inspirationally. As a recent stroke survivor being able to get down to and up from the floor safely is huge! Yesterday, I fell suddenly outside in the yard. I am not sure how my fall occurred. One minute I was upright the next minute flat on the ground on my bad side. Stunned for a short time I remembered the technique I learned from this video and was up on my feet in seconds. Success!

Video 3 is an excellent video and important for us stroke survivors to have as a guide. Great “stuff”! Many great exercises for us stroke survivors all condensed in one video narrated and per formed by one of us, a stroke survivor. If you want to continue your journey of post stroke function & balance improvement get this video.

Videos 5 &6 have great demonstrations and specific recommendations on objects you can create yourself at home to help you in your upper limb recovery. Recovering upper body strength is very important for me. However my dilemma was how to begin on my own. This video gave me wonderful direction in that regard. If as a stroke survivor, you dream about regaining the techniques necessary to effectively get around in public you need this video. If you want to try and improve your function after your stroke this video is excellent. Overall, Tom’s performing the activities and narration are great! There are no guarantees in stroke recovery but this video certainly gives hope and encouragement. Personally I am very pleased that my road to recovery is helped by this video.

Very informative and helpful: clear and concise instructions with great attention to detail on technique! Thank you!
