Arm Therapy for Stage 2 Stroke | Occupational Therapy

Welcome to our video guide on Stroke Recovery Exercises: Overcoming Arm Stiffness. If you’re in stage 2 of stroke recovery, you might be experiencing muscle stiffness, or spasticity, and tight tendons. This can make movements, especially against gravity, challenging. You might start to regain some movement, but not fully. At this stage, passive range of motion is still crucial.

In this video, we’ll guide you through a series of occupational therapy exercises designed to help regain strength and range of motion in your arm. The exercises included are:

Trunk Rotation
Shoulder Rotation
Gentle Rocking
Diagonal Reaching
Arm Turning

Consistency is key in stroke recovery. Please be consistent with your home therapy. Let’s exercise our minds and bodies to get stronger together. Remember, every step counts when it comes to stroke recovery

Nathan, My wife had a stroke 15 months ago. We have been to OT and PT at half-a-dozen specialized hospitals. We're thankful for all of their help. We recently found your videos and we go over two videos of yours everyday. You are very knowledgeable and you communicate so well and are easy to follow. We are very thankful for your expertise and help. We are providing links to your videos to our current OT/PT people.

Hey Nathan!! I’m sending you this message from my uncle who had a major stroke almost 1 week ago and his insurance doesn’t cover any type of rehab/therapy so I found you and your at home stroke therapy series and we have already started doing your exercises and my uncle says if I hadn’t found you on YouTube he doesn’t know what he would do…he can follow your instructions and he’s working SO HARD to get better and it’s honestly because of you so from Clifford in Alabama he sends you a HUGE THANK YOU for helping save his life!!! We love you for doing these Nathan you are truly an inspiration!!!! 🫶🫶💙💚🫠🫤😐🤗💙💚🫶🤗🤗

Thank you Nathan for your wonderful videos!
2 months ago I had a stroke that turned my life upside down. Now that I'm out of rehab and on my own, your videos are a huge help.
I follow your stroke channel and I am more than enthusiastic.
Your positive charisma and the simplicity of your explanations are not only therapeutic, but also entertaining.
Keep your positivity and keep it up.
Thanks a lot for this
