Why is exercise good for those who have had a Stroke?
Exercise is important if you have had a stroke as it can help improve muscle strength, tone, balance and health/fitness. Exercise can help to improve symptoms commonly found after a stroke and can also help to reduce muscle tone and improve the overall muscular function of affected side (depending on severity) and improve mental health.
Disclaimer: All exercises should be done based off of your level and current ability and can be done with or without a weighted object. If you are unable to do these exercises safely and independently, please have assistance where appropriate.
