Stroke
What Is a Stroke?
A stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting the oxygen and nutrients it needs. The severity of a stroke can vary significantly from person to person, depending on the location and extent of brain injury.
How Stroke May Impact Daily Life
The effects of a stroke can be life-altering, whether in a child or adult. Challenges may include:
✔ Partial or complete loss of motor control (often on one side of the body)
✔ Difficulty with speech or language (aphasia)
✔ Cognitive impairments, such as memory or attention issues
✔ Emotional dysregulation or depression
✔ Struggles with independence in daily activities
Because the nervous system is highly adaptable, the right kind of support can foster meaningful improvements. Many traditional therapies emphasize what has been lost. At MoveAbilities®, we focus on building from what is still possible.
How MoveAbilities® Can Help
MoveAbilities® offers a brain-based approach that helps create the conditions necessary for new learning and recovery following stroke. Through the Anat Baniel Method NeuroMovement®, we gently engage the brain's natural capacity for reorganization - this is called brain plasticity.
This approach can help stroke survivors:
✔ Increase ease and efficiency of movement
✔ Improve clarity of thought and communication
✔ Rebuild confidence and a sense of agency
✔ Expand physical comfort and reduce pain
✔ Discover new possibilities for daily function
Each session is personalized, respectful, and grounded in the belief that growth is always possible.
