Stroke rehabilitation often begins in hospital within the first days after a stroke.
However, recovery continues well beyond discharge and many people benefit from ongoing outpatient physiotherapy.
Early rehabilitation can help support:
- Mobility recovery
- Strength and balance
- Walking retraining
- Falls prevention
- Functional independence
- Confidence with movement
Importantly, it is never too late to seek physiotherapy support.
Even months or years after stroke, many people can still make meaningful improvements in movement, strength, fitness, and confidence.
A physiotherapist can assess current function and develop an individual rehabilitation program based on personal goals and needs.
