Jonathan Henderson & Michelle Green – Stroke Rehab Master Class: Best Practices for Improved Outcomes

Maybe you’re just now getting into stroke rehab and have no idea how to approach your client’s treatment in the most effective way possible. No one wants to waste time, right?

Either way, treating stroke is complicated.

Patients exhibit a variety of impairments that encompass the physical and cognitive. The growing number of impairments is overwhelming when you’re trying to map a rehab plan.

It’s understandable if you get frustrated, even though you love working with this population.

Discover how to create a comprehensive treatment plan in Stroke Rehab Master Class: Best Practices for Improved Outcomes.
