Stroke Recovery Rehab

Returning to the Gym After Stroke


Listen Later

Stroke survivors know that recovery doesn’t end when the physical and occupational therapy sessions end.

Instead, you’re often on your own to find a way to rebuild your strength after a stroke, and the gym can be an important part of that.

In this episode, I share some of my challenges with working out in a gym after stroke and four strategies that helped me feel comfortable in the gym again.

For more information on myo-reps or the benefits of unilateral training, be sure to review the links and resources that I’ve included in this article: https://strokerecoveryrehab.com/2026/03/01/returning-to-the-gym-after-stroke/
