A stroke can be a life-altering event, often leaving survivors with hemiplegia (paralysis on one side) or significant loss of motor control. The most critical period for recovery is the first six months, during which the brain is most capable of neuroplasticity—the ability to rewire itself and form new neural connections to bypass damaged areas.

Neurological physiotherapy is the cornerstone of post-stroke care. Unlike general fitness, neuro-rehab focuses on functional movement patterns. By repetitive, task-specific training, therapists help patients "re-learn" basic actions like sitting, standing, and walking, turning small daily victories into long-term independence.
