After a stroke

Physical therapy after a stroke

For adults whose strength, balance, walking or use of an arm or hand changed after a stroke.

Your therapist builds your plan around what you want to do again, from climbing your own stairs to buttoning a shirt. Care can start once you are home from the hospital or an inpatient rehabilitation program, and it continues for as long as it is helping.

This care is for you if

  • A stroke has changed how you walk or keep your balance

  • One arm or hand is weaker or harder to use

  • You have been discharged from the hospital or inpatient rehabilitation

  • Your family wants to know how to help at home

What a visit looks like

  • A visit

    A visit lasts about an hour. One physical therapist treats you, and a physical therapist assistant may join under their direction.

  • What we do

    We look at how you stand, walk and use your arm, then practice the movements that matter to you, with a hand nearby. We teach exercises for home and show a family member how to help.

  • What decides how many visits

    What your therapist finds, what you want to do, how your body responds and what your plan covers. Your therapist talks it through with you at each step.

  • How it is paid for

    Through your plan, or by paying yourself with a written estimate first. We tell you what to expect before your first visit.

    How fees work

Who treats you

Your therapist and, sometimes, an assistant working under their direction.

Questions about this care

Do I need a physician's referral?

In Rhode Island you can start without a referral. Your plan may still ask for one. Your physician is usually part of your care after a stroke, and with your permission we keep them informed.

Can a family member come to visits?

Yes. Your therapist can show them how to help with practice at home and what to watch for.

Will it hurt?

We work within what you can tolerate. Tell your therapist when something is too much, and they change the plan.
