Post Stroke (CVA) - The Sterling Physiotherapy Practice

Stroke is characterised by a sudden onset of weakness to one side of the body. It is a consequence of an interruption of the flow of blood to the brain. Usually the cause of stroke is disease of the blood vessels or heart

Rehabilitation following stroke is an ongoing process which, depending on the severity of the injury, your age and your motivation, can be very rewarding.

The key to a successful program is team involvement – you are a part of that team and we at Sterling Physiotherpay Practice will work with you and your aspirations.

For futher information see the Stroke Association's website.

Treatments available from the Sterling Physiotherapy Practice for post stroke include: normal movement training, stretching, orthotics & functional electrical stimulation, balance, re-train exercise tolerance and acupuncture.

The Sterling Physiotherapy Practice has expanded and now offers a full range of physiotherapy services from the Seaham physiotherapy clinic and the Sunderland physiotherapy clinic.
