When we look at animals that recover from a stroke in an environment where they have access to greater opportunities to combine physical, cognitive and social activities, it promotes brain plasticity and improves their motor function.
Imagine being told you can regain your independence and improve your quality of life after a stroke. That's exactly what Dr. Heidi Jansen, a seasoned physiotherapist and researcher, aims to achieve. In this episode of 'Recovery After Stroke', Dr. Jansen sits down with host Bill Gasiamis to share her innovative approach to stroke rehabilitation. With over two decades of experience, Dr. Jansen has dedicated her career to helping stroke survivors through her pioneering program, ESTEEM.
This program is not just about physical recovery; it’s a holistic approach that incorporates exercise, socialization, and cognitive stimulation. From movement to music sessions to engaging in visual arts, ESTEEM creates a nurturing environment for brain plasticity and overall well-being. Dr. Jansen's passion doesn't stop at stroke recovery. She envisions making ESTEEM accessible to those with other neurological conditions like traumatic brain injury and Parkinson's disease.
The program's success in Newcastle has already sparked plans for expansion into regional communities, offering a lifeline to many more survivors. Tune in to hear how Dr. Jansen's commitment is transforming lives and setting new standards in stroke rehabilitation.
