Because a stroke can affect the normal functioning of muscles, therapists provide intervention to prevent further muscle damage. Therapists move the body in ways that provide therapeutic benefits, working to restore posture, muscle function, coordination, and balance.

Every clinician integrates a number of techniques into therapy to improve thinking, reasoning, memory, communication, understanding and problem-solving. Speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and psychologists are most involved in this process.

Siskin Hospital is also proud to offer a Young Stroke Program for those patients who desire to get back to work, school or parenting.
