I had my TBI in 1987, thank God I was only 19, it’s been a challenge everyday of my life. Dr. Tara you are amazing with all your knowledge and info you give. I didnt😮have no internet at my injury time. If you had brain injury knowledge and repitition is your best friend ❤.Blessings and determination to all those out there.Your healing never stops, don’t stop learning!

Thank you Tara for sharing all the after stroke Rehabilitaton, especially this one on creating stability in the shoulder girdle by maintaining the affected shoulder /arm in external rotation as you move the arm in flexion, abduction, diagonal reach…it makes a great deal of sense…since you’re speaking my language I’m a Pilates practitioner and a Clinical Exercise Physiologist. I had my stroke in February, 2023 and my worst biomechanical challenge is my frozen shoulder 0 my left hans spasticity…(my hans is open and I can use it to perform daily duties, but it gets more spastic (tighter towards evening) and it seems that it got worse in the last couple of months…why?
