Breaking the Boundaries of Stroke Recovery: Regaining Function 2.5 Years After Severe Stroke

A New Chapter in Stroke Recovery
When Michal first came to our clinic near Manchester, she had been living with paralysis in her foot and toe for over 2.5 years following a severe stroke, along with impaired speech, pain, limited range of motion in her upper limbs and paralysis in her hand and fingers. Traditional rehabilitation had plateaued after the acute recovery phase. The conventional viewpoint is "most recovery happens in the first few months after a stroke." Many are told that significant improvement beyond the initial recovery phase is unlikely.
But what if that conventional wisdom is wrong?
Challenging Traditional Recovery Limits
For decades, stroke survivors have been told that most recovery occurs within the first 3-6 months—the so-called "critical window" for neurological healing. After this period, improvement typically slows or stops entirely.
Our approach fundamentally challenges this limitation. We've developed a methodology that helps clients regain function even years after their stroke. This isn't about managing symptoms—it's about genuine recovery and renewed independence.
How Our Approach Differs
Traditional stroke rehabilitation typically follows a predictable pattern:
Acute care immediately after the stroke
Early rehabilitation focusing on preventing complications
Functional rehabilitation to regain daily living skills
Maintenance therapy to preserve gained function, acceptance of loss of function beyond a certain window
Our approach is based on restorative neurological therapy that works regardless of how much time has passed since your stroke.
What makes our method different:
Neural pathway reactivation and strengthening rather than compensation strategies
Precision movement patterning that targets specific neural circuits
Leverages cutting-edge technologies that are aligned with the body's ability to heal
Our approach is NOT physiotherapy based. We find physiotherapy to be limited in it's efficacy and have developed a unique methodology offered nowhere else in Europe.
The Science Behind Our Success
Recent neuroscience research has demonstrated that the brain's neuroplasticity—its ability to form new connections—continues throughout life, not just during a brief post-injury window. Our techniques leverage a specific type of electrical current and stimulation of the mitochondria - signals that are recognised by the nervous system and facilitate the repair and creation of pathways so the brain and body are able to communicate effectively again.
Is This Approach Right for You?
Our specialised Stroke rehabilitation programme has shown success with:
Stroke survivors who have plateaued in traditional therapy
Individuals dealing with impaired mobility, foot drop, limited hand function / dexterity issues and balance issues
Individuals who have altered speech and swallow
People who experienced their stroke months or even years ago
Taking the First Step Toward Full Recovery
Living with the effects of a stroke is challenging enough without accepting unnecessary limitations on your recovery. Our approach is changing what's possible for stroke survivors across the UK by demonstrating that:
Function can continue to improve long after the traditional recovery window
Movement can return to areas that have been paralysed or had limited movement for years
The brain can forge new pathways regardless of how long ago the stroke occurred
