Peter G. Levine: The Journey Beyond Stroke Rehab
Discharge from therapy is not The Beginning Of The End, it's the end of the beginning.
Picture this: You've just been discharged from stroke rehab, and you think the hard part is over. But according to Peter G. Levine, a clinical researcher, the real journey is just beginning. In this episode of 'Recovery After Stroke', host Bill Gasiamis chats with Levine about what happens after the initial rehab phase and how stroke survivors can continue to make progress.
Levine sheds light on the importance of mental practice and constraint-induced therapy, techniques often used in athletic training, to help the brain and body recover. He also stresses the value of self-awareness and staying current with rehabilitation methods to tackle neurological deficits. This episode isn't just for those recovering from a stroke; it's a must-listen for caregivers and anyone interested in the science of recovery.
Levine's insights are both practical and inspiring, offering a roadmap for continued improvement long after leaving the rehab center. If you're curious about how to keep moving forward on the road to recovery, this conversation is packed with valuable tips and encouragement.
