Stroke is one of the most common causes of disability and functional disability in old age. The causes of a stroke are many, and the result of a stroke can range from a minor injury to a significant injury. The location in the brain where the event occurred is important for prognosis (the expected course of recovery). For example, there are differences between a stroke on the right side of the brain and a stroke on the left side of the brain.
The best way to return to function and independence after a stroke is through rehabilitation. process Rehabilitation after a stroke It will usually be multi-professional and will include treatments in several areas. The best and most effective rehabilitation process, according to studies, should include physiotherapy treatments, occupational therapy and a speech therapist (in cases of swallowing, language or speech problems), Clinical Dietitian , a social worker and a rehabilitation psychologist.

Private Rehabilitation at the Client's Home
At Restart Therapy, we specialize in home rehabilitation. For people who have started rehabilitation in hospitals, we believe that real rehabilitation begins at home. In fact, the therapeutic environment in the various institutions is too sterile. Unlike the hospital, the house does not have a special treatment bed, there are no particularly wide openings in the doors, there are no handcuffs everywhere, there is no wide shower, and more. When the person returns home, he has to deal with a variety of new situations that do not allow him to apply what he learned to do in hospital rehabilitation, because his home is very different from what he was used to, since the stroke.
