Reviews for Wellness After Stroke: A holistic fitness guide with daily workouts to keep you moving!

This book is exceptionally well-written and illustrated, featuring practical exercises. I especially appreciate the suggested variations for different skill levels. It offers a wealth of great information, presented in a way that is easy to digest and not overwhelming. Highly recommend if you're a family member assisting someone recovering from a stroke. Great home resource for any stroke survivor!! This book will help guide you through ways to continue improving your recovery beyond your scheduled PT visits. This is such a great resource to not only those impacted by a stroke but also those with debility or the aging population that is not used to exercise. We use our book also as a resource in our therapy clinic! Fantastic resource for those recovering from a stroke! Physical therapy and exercises like this are so important after a stroke to try and gain that quality of life back. This book was so easy for my father to read and understand that he had no problem following along for himself and really feeling a little more independent.
