Understanding strokes: consider causes, risk factors and symptoms

A stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is interrupted, limiting the oxygen and nutrients it needs to function. This can be due to a:

  • Blocked artery (ischaemic stroke)
  • Bleeding in the brain (haemorrhagic stroke)
  • Transient ischaemic attack (TIA), also known as a mini-stroke.

A stroke is a medical emergency. Call 000 immediately.

How do strokes affect you?

The effects of a stroke vary depending on the type, location, and severity. Some people may experience minimal challenges, while others may face ongoing difficulties with:

  • Movement or strength on one side of the body
  • Speech or language
  • Memory and concentration
  • Emotional regulation
  • Balance or coordination
  • Fatigue

Recovery may involve a combination of medical, physical, cognitive, and emotional support.

How Neurofit can support you after stroke

At Neurofit, our programs are based on principles of functional neurology and neuroplasticity – the brain’s ability to adapt and change in response to new experiences. 

We do not provide medical treatment or diagnosis of stroke but we do support your rehabilitation through targeted brain-based activities tailored to your needs. 

After a comprehensive initial assessment, we may recommend: 

  • Brain exercises for stroke recovery such as cognitive stimulation, coordination tasks, and visual-auditory training
  • Interactive technologies such as Neurosage to encourage movement, attention and engagement
  • Balance and movement activities that focus on cross-body integration
  • Home-based exercises to reinforce in-clinic strategies.

 

If you’re looking for a supportive environment for stroke rehabilitation, please come to see us. We can conduct an assessment, review your history, discuss your goals and create a tailored program to support your recovery.
