Physical Therapy for Stroke Patients: Stroke Physical Therapy: Freedom From Immobility

...  which can take a long time to regain. Undergoing the after effects of a stroke is very frustrating since you basically have to relearn how to do the everyday activities you are used to. That is why there are several fitness centers in NC that offer specialized programs for those recovering from a stroke. It will not be a quick or easy process, but proper exercise can help you regain most if not all of your former range of motion and control. There are several exercises that were created for stroke patients to help in restoring independent movement. Right after a stroke, it is common for patients to be unable to move at all. These exercises are designed to start very simply. As movement slowly returns and strength is built back up in the body, these exercises slowly become more challenging. Eventually, patients are able to walk on a treadmill and do other basic exercises without help. At the same time, your physical therapy program will include activities designed to help recover your dexterity and fine motor skills as you relearn basic activities. Finding the right fitness center to help with your recovery is very important. At ACT by Deese, they have trained attendants who are well-versed in designing programs for stroke patients. You will have a personal trainer with you at all times, rather than being left alone with the gym equipment.

Along with physical therapy, their physical trainers are also qualified to help with weight loss, NC diabetic exercise and Parkinsons exercise. The quality of life of patrons is the number one priority for Act by Deese. They are known for their different programs considering ...

To a Medical Doctor About Opiate Addiction and PAWS (Post Acute Withdraw Syndrome)?

Question by JiNx: To a Medical Doctor about Opiate addiction and PAWS (Post Acute Withdraw Syndrome)? I have off and on, mostly on, been addicted to prescription pain medications (Opiates) for about 10 years (I’m almost 30 now, and started at age 19-20). I have tried to quit many times, failed many times, did succeed once early on, for 6 months, but started again (Thought it would always be easy to quit). It is literally… a nightmare now. I have a child, I am single (My parents, god bless them, have helped me take care of him, but I would do anything to get from underneath this medication to do this independent, just cannot do it sick, and my PAWS seems to never end), and don’t know how I am ever going to be able to get off of it… or a dependable form of medication to maintain the addiction (Methadone, Suboxone). I guess what my question is, are there doctors that prescribe METHADONE for the maintaining of the addiction, not for pain? Suboxone would work, if I c ...
