Stroke Recovery
The sooner you start rehabilitation, the greater potential for recovery. Our pioneering work reveals that stroke patients benefit greatly from early, intensive therapy … regardless of the type or severity of your stroke. We are the world’s choice for stroke care, research and outcomes.
We’ve discovered that people of almost any age and stroke severity can benefit from very high intensity physical training for neurological recovery.
