Benefits of Adaptive Exercise After Stroke 💪

Regular exercise following a stroke is vital for recovery and maintaining independence. Our specially designed seated class provides a safe environment to rebuild strength, mobility and confidence.

How adaptive exercise helps:

• Improves blood circulation and heart health
• Enhances coordination and motor skills
• Boosts mental wellbeing and reduces depression
• Increases independence in daily activities
• Provides social connection and peer support

Dual-tasking exercises, where you perform physical movements while simultaneously doing cognitive tasks, are particularly valuable for stroke recovery. These activities help reconnect neural pathways and improve brain function alongside physical rehabilitation.

The seated format ensures exercises are accessible even on difficult days, while standing options allow you to challenge yourself when ready. Each participant works at their own level with modifications available for all abilities.

The supportive group setting at Holy Trinity Hall creates a sense of community that's just as important as the physical benefits. Come along and join our welcoming Gisborne community focused on recovery and wellbeing.
