Repetition Matters in Stroke Recovery

One of the key principles of rehabilitation after a stroke or brain injury is “Repetition Matters.” To help the brain reorganize and rewire itself, quality repetitions are essential. Just like an athlete like Steve Smith masters his batting through repeated, purposeful practice, stroke survivors relearn skills—like drinking from a cup—through structured, consistent repetition.

Finding the right exercises and staying motivated can be challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone. Our team is here to guide you through the process and ensure you’re practicing the right movements at the right intensity for your recovery.

Warwick returns from leave on February 17th and is available to help you create a personalized plan to improve your function after a stroke.

📅 Book an appointment today and take the next step in your recovery!

Neuroplasticity refers to the brain and nervous system’s ability to reorganize and rewire themselves based on the conditions we expose them to. This principle is key to recovering from acquired brain injuries, such as surviving a stroke.

Over the last 50 years, doctors and scientists have discovered that the brain is constantly reshaping itself in response to repeated experiences. For example, learning a new skill—whether it’s crocheting or hitting a golf ball—becomes easier with practice. Similarly, after an acquired brain injury, the brain can relearn essential tasks like walking or using a knife and fork.

Warwick has spent many years working with stroke survivors, helping them return to the activities they love or explore new ones. If you or someone you know could use support in this journey, Warwick will be back from leave on February 17th and ready to support your recovery.
