Stroke Rehabilitation
A stroke can affect the way a person moves, balances and manages everyday activities. Physiotherapy is often an important part of stroke recovery. At Physio-Care, rehabilitation is planned around each person’s assessment, goals and circumstances, and progresses in structured phases. Our center is at Kubiri, Gayaza Road, Kampala, and we serve clients across Kampala and Wakiso.
Areas physiotherapy may support
Every stroke is different, so every rehabilitation plan is different. Depending on individual needs, physiotherapy may focus on:
- Mobility: moving in bed, getting up from a chair, standing and walking
- Balance: steadiness when standing and walking, to help reduce the risk of falls
- Strength: rebuilding muscle strength, particularly on the affected side
- Coordination: improving control and the quality of movement
- Functional independence: practising the everyday tasks that matter to the person
Working with families and caregivers
Families and caregivers often play a vital role in stroke recovery. With the patient’s consent, we can involve them in sessions, show safe ways to assist with movement and suggest exercises that can be practised between appointments.
Coordinated care
Stroke rehabilitation often involves several professionals. We aim to work alongside hospitals, health centres and personal doctors so that physiotherapy fits within the person’s wider care. Progress after a stroke varies from person to person, and we do not promise specific outcomes. Your physiotherapist will discuss realistic goals with you.
