Stroke recovery · CVA

Recovery after a stroke is still possible.

Whether you're weeks out or years out, the brain keeps adapting. Our in-home neurologic physical and occupational therapy is built around the way you recover, in the rooms where you live.

What is a stroke?

A stroke, or cerebrovascular accident (CVA), occurs when there is an interruption in the blood supply to the brain, either due to a blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or a burst blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). This interruption damages brain cells, leading to a variety of symptoms and complications.

The effects of a stroke can range from mild to severe, impacting areas such as movement, speech, cognition, and daily activities. Recovery isn't linear, and it isn't over. With the right kind of work, meaningful progress is possible months and even years out.

What we see

Common symptoms & challenges.

  • Weakness or paralysis on one side of the body
  • Spasticity and muscle tightness
  • Difficulty speaking or understanding speech
  • Problems with balance or coordination
  • Memory or cognitive challenges
  • Reduced endurance and deconditioning
How we help

How exercise & therapy can help.

Physical therapy plays a critical role in stroke recovery, helping you rebuild strength, improve mobility, and regain independence. Our stroke recovery programs are designed around the challenges that follow a stroke:

  • Improved mobility. Rebuilding strength and movement to regain your ability to walk, sit, and perform daily tasks.
  • Enhanced balance & coordination. Training to reduce fall risk and improve overall coordination.
  • Independence. Returning to everyday activities with confidence, whether it's driving, dressing, or working.
  • Reduced risk of complications. Preventing secondary issues such as joint pain, muscle atrophy, and further disability.

Practical details

We come to you

In-home stroke recovery physical and occupational therapy, in your house, apartment, assisted living, independent living, or memory care residence.

Not home health

We are outpatient neurologic therapy delivered in your home, not a home health agency. There is no homebound requirement, and if you already have home health we can work alongside it.

No referral needed

You do not need a physician referral to start, in North Carolina or Florida.

Sessions

Usually 55 to 60 minutes, up to 90 when the plan calls for it, with one therapist for the whole session. Most people are seen twice a week, and up to four times a week after a new stroke or a hospital discharge.

No visit caps

We do not cap the number of visits. How long we stay is a clinical decision we make with you, not a number set in advance.

Insurance

We bill Original Medicare Part B directly and are in network in both states. Medicare Advantage plans are out of network, and we will bill on your behalf for PPO plans. Commercial plans are superbill only.

Getting started

Often within 24 to 48 hours, depending on how quickly we can gather your information. Hospital discharges move to the front of the line.

Physical and occupational therapy

Both, from one practice. After a stroke, occupational therapy covers dressing, bathing, cooking, and getting back to the things that fill a day.

Who you see

Board-certified neurologic clinical specialists. Several clinicians are LSVT BIG or PWR!Moves certified.
