ONLINE EXERCISE CLASSES AFTER STROKE
Stay Active, Improve Mobility & Support Your Recovery
Recovering from a stroke can be challenging, and access to ongoing rehabilitation is not always available. That’s why we’ve created a library of over 100 free stroke-specific exercise videos designed to help stroke survivors at every stage of recovery.
Our online exercise programmes:
- Developed by stroke professionals and survivors who understand the journey firsthand.
- Suitable for all ability levels, from seated exercises to advanced strength training.
- Adaptable, allowing you to work at your own pace and find exercises that meet your needs.
- Available anytime, anywhere via our YouTube channel.
Whether you’re looking to regain mobility, improve balance, increase strength, or simply stay active, we have an exercise programme that can support your goals.
