Stroke Recovery Techniques

Roger Maxwell, author of the new book "Taking Charge of Your Stroke Recovery: A Personal Recovery Workbook" (www.takingchargebooks.com), suffered a massive stroke in his late 40's. Advised he could only “cross his fingers and wait” when insurance-paid hospital rehab ended and left him severely disabled, Maxwell realized he had to take charge of his own stroke recovery.

Taking Charge of Your Stroke Recovery: A Personal Recovery Workbook is a step-by-step, home-based recovery method that reveals the techniques of recovery proven in clinical studies to be the most effective. Maxwell calls these principles “Recovery Basics.” He shares the following little known facts about stroke recovery:

1. Far more stroke survivors can fully recover from the effects of stroke than currently do.
2. Stroke survivors need to take charge of their stroke recovery to fully recover from stroke.
3. You can prevent your stroke from becoming a “life sentence”!
4. Good brain nutrition is important.
5. Doing the right exercises the right way is key.
