At CN Rehab, we understand that stroke recovery can be a challenging journey. Our comprehensive stroke rehabilitation exercises are designed to help patients regain independence, rebuild strength, and improve overall quality of life. With a dedicated team of specialists, modern facilities and innovative equipment, we are committed to providing personalised care that meets each patient’s unique needs.
Stroke rehabilitation is a critical part of the stroke recovery process. At CN Rehab, we focus on helping patients relearn the skills that may have been lost due to the brain damage caused by the stroke. This can include regaining mobility, cognitive function, and the ability to perform daily tasks.
Our team consists of experienced physiotherapists, occupational therapists and neurological experts who work together to support you or your loved one through this important phase of recovery from strokes.
We are passionate about helping individuals restore movement and the ability to complete tasks independently. This is because we believe you or your loved ones should feel a sense of self-satisfaction during these challenging times, to help restore confidence with the progression of your stroke recovery, no matter how big or small the positive changes are in the sessions.
We offer a wide range of stroke rehabilitation services, tailored to suit the specific requirements of each patient:
Physiotherapy: Our expert physiotherapists specialise in helping stroke survivors regain movement and muscle strength. With personalised exercises and therapies, we work to improve mobility, balance, and coordination, ultimately aiding in a more independent lifestyle.
Occupational Therapy: Occupational therapy is key to helping stroke survivors relearn daily living skills, such as dressing, cooking, and personal care. Our occupational therapists focus on restoring the functional ability to perform essential tasks, allowing patients to regain control of their lives.
Neurological Physiotherapy: Neurological physiotherapy is a specialised service we offer to support patients dealing with the effects of neurological damage after a stroke. This therapy is designed to help overcome more complex motor issues.
At CN Rehab, we pride ourselves on providing high-quality neuro-rehabilitation that is centred around the patient. Our neuro rehabilitation clinic in Stourbridge offers:
We believe that every stroke recovery journey is different. That’s why we develop tailored rehabilitation services to meet the specific needs of each patient, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
Our modern clinic is equipped with the latest technology and rehabilitation equipment to support patients in their recovery process. We have recently welcomed a new piece of equipment called the Lexo Gait Trainer, which is a key tool for helping individuals improve their walking abilities after suffering a stroke.
Beginning stroke rehabilitation as soon as possible helps prevent further complications, such as muscle stiffness and reduced mobility. It also promotes faster recovery, enabling patients to regain their independence sooner.
If you or a loved one has experienced a stroke, seeking rehabilitation early can make a significant difference. At CN Rehab, we offer initial consultations where our specialists assess your condition and develop a customised stroke rehabilitation plan.
CN Rehab is based in Stourbridge, West Midlands (Cranham House, Amblecote, DY8 4BU), making us accessible to patients across the West Midlands and surrounding regions, including Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Dudley, Worcester, and Coventry. We also offer community rehabilitation services, allowing members of our specialist team to work with patients in their own homes. This is particularly beneficial for those who find it difficult to travel or who are at an earlier stage of recovery.
Yes, every patient at CN Rehab receives an individually tailored rehabilitation plan. No two strokes are the same, and no two recoveries should follow an identical path. Following an initial consultation, our specialists assess your current abilities, understand your personal goals, and design a programme specifically for you. Your plan is reviewed regularly throughout your programme, and we adapt it as you progress. Our goal is to challenge you appropriately at every stage, pushing recovery forward without overwhelming you, so that you leave each session with a sense of achievement and confidence in your progress.
Yes. Improving gait, the ability to walk safely and efficiently, is one of the most common goals for stroke survivors. At CN Rehab, we have a range of specialist technologies specifically designed to retrain walking patterns. The Lexo Gait Trainer is a revolutionary robotic gait device that supports patients through each phase of the walking cycle, increasing activity levels and accelerating rehabilitation. The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill allows patients to walk with reduced body weight, making practice safer and less physically demanding. The LiteGait Bodyweight Support System enables people who cannot yet bear their own weight to start standing and stepping. Together, these tools give our team the means to help patients progress from assisted standing through to independent, confident walking.
Yes. Upper limb weakness or paralysis is one of the most common effects of stroke, and it is a core focus of our rehabilitation programme at CN Rehab. We use a combination of specialist robotic therapy, electrical stimulation, and hands-on physiotherapy to help patients regain function in their affected arm and hand. Our AMADEO robotic finger-hand therapy device — the most clinically tested of its kind in the world — works even with minimal muscle activity, making it suitable for patients with significant weakness. The STELLA-BIO EMG-triggered FES system and the Luna Robotic EMG device also support upper limb recovery by detecting the patient's own muscle signals and using them to drive movement.
Stroke rehabilitation should begin as soon as medically possible, often within days of the stroke occurring. Early rehabilitation helps prevent complications such as muscle stiffness, joint contractures, and secondary deconditioning. It also takes advantage of the brain's natural period of heightened neuroplasticity, during which new neural connections are most readily formed. If you feel you have not received adequate rehabilitation through the NHS, or your therapy has ended but you still have goals to achieve, it is never too late to restart. Many of our patients at CN Rehab come to us weeks, months, or even years after their stroke and still make meaningful progress.
The length of stroke rehabilitation varies from person to person and depends on several factors, including the severity of the stroke, the areas of the brain affected, and the individual's overall health and goals. Some people may see significant improvement within weeks, while others may require months or even ongoing support to achieve their fullest potential. At CN Rehab, we create personalised rehabilitation plans tailored to each individual’s progress, and we regularly review goals to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Full recovery from a stroke depends on factors like severity, health, and rehabilitation. While not everyone achieves 100% recovery, personalised, intensive rehab can greatly enhance outcomes. Each recovery journey is unique, but our approach maximises the potential for significant improvement.
Stroke rehabilitation restores function and independence through a tailored, multidisciplinary approach. Our services include neurological physiotherapy, robotic gait training, and sensor-assisted therapy to rebuild strength, mobility, and balance. Occupational and speech therapy support daily skills, while hydrotherapy aids gentle movement.
The rehab stay for stroke patients varies based on recovery needs and stroke severity. Our patients often undergo a few weeks of intensive therapy, using advanced tools like robotic gait trainers. For severe cases, rehab may extend over several months to achieve safe, effective results. Each programme is personalised to support optimal recovery.
