Stroke Recovery Rehab

In this episode, I'll share why maintaining a healthy circadian rhythm is an underrated strategy for stroke survivors to improve their recovery after stroke.

For stroke survivors, a disrupted circadian rhythm can hurt neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to form new neural connections to recover the skills that were lost due to stroke.
