Yoga Therapy and Stroke Rehab with Rachel Divine
Published on Aug 1, 2012Here is a sample of a Yoga Therapy class I had with one of my clients. Yoga can be fun and full of laughter! She is almost 80 yrs old and this was our 7th class. Don't think that yoga has to be serious.. you cab have fun and heal. btw..Sitting in a chair is perfectly acceptable! Yoga may help stroke survivors improve balance
Yoga may be more therapeutic than traditional exercise because the combination of postures, breathing and meditation may produce different effects than simple exercise, researchers said. "However, stroke patients looking for such help might have a hard time finding qualified yoga therapists to work with," Schmid said. (that's me!)
Yoga may Help Stroke Survivors Improve Balance.

3. But I Prefer Swimming...,
SSTattler:
1) stroke == freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly,...
2) "stroke" == ischemic, hemorrhagic, TIA,...
3) I can use only 1 arm after my "stroke" so mostly I modified a little bit.
You can do them, mostly, but breaststroke is tough ...
Swimming Drills to Improve Backstroke
Published on Jun 18, 2013SSTattler: Backstroke is the first to try it after a "stroke"... relatively easy if you know to swim.
Learn how to do three swimming drills that will improve your backstroke in this swimming lesson from Howcast.
Here are some great drills for the backstroke. First great drill is basic soldier kick drill on your back, with your hands at your sides. When you're kicking on your back, keep your upper body straight, your head in the inline position, and you're just kicking with your legs in a flutter kick, also known as a crawl kick, with your toes pointing straight, and your toes roiling the water underwater. You want to avoid having your knees come out of the water, or having your legs kicking too low.
Second great drill for the backstroke is also known as the single arm backstroke. Every six kicks, you pull with one arm as you're swimming down the pool. As you're pulling with one arm, your shoulder comes out of the water first, your arm begins to break the surface of the water, thumb comes out, hand rotates, pinky enters the water. This is a very important part in backstroke, when the thumb comes out and rotates, the pinky needs to enter the water so you pull the water with your palm.
So, every six kicks, you will just do a single arm backstroke. One, two, three, four, five, six, pull, bring your arm out, and pull. One, two, three, four, five, six, thumb comes out, hand rotates, pinky enters the water. One, two, three, four, five, six, thumb comes out, hand rotates, pinky enters the water. Another great drill for backstroke is switching, every six kicks, from one arm to the other arm, and rotating side to side, so you will keep one arm up here, for six kicks, and switch every six kicks. One, two, three, four, five, six, thumb comes out, hand rotates, pinky enters the water, while the arm is coming out, the arm that's up top is beginning to pull. Every six kicks. One, two, three, four, five, six, pull, switch. One, two, three, four, five, six, pull, switch. As you're doing this stroke or this drill, it's very important to keep your head straight, your arms nice and long, and keep focusing on having your thumb come out first and your pinky entering the water. This will make a great backstroke for everybody. These are some great drills for the backstroke.

Drills to Improve Freestyle Stroke
Published on Jun 10, 2013Learn how to do three swimming drills that improve freestyle stroke in this swimming lesson from Howcast.
Swimming drills to improve the freestyle stroke. There are a few great drills to improve your freestyle stroke. They are simple, and easy, and anybody can do them from being just a beginner swimmer to an advanced swimmer. One of the drills I would like to do, at Physique Swimming, is the catch-up freestyle. The catch-up freestyle is done by keeping both of your arms in front of you, and then every six kicks, you pull with one arm to catch-up to the other arm. One, two, three, four, five, six, pull, breathe. One, two, three, four, five, six, pull, breathe.
The catch-up freestyle stroke allows you to develop balance and coordination so your freestyle overall becomes a lot more efficient. Another version of a catch-up stroke is doing the catch-up freestyle drill single arm catch-up freestyle, which means just using one arm at a time. So you're going to be using one arm every six kicks to pull and breathe to your side. So you would kick six times in between your stroke. One, two, three, four, five, six, pull, take a quick breath to your side, and have your arm recover, and enter right in front of your head. One, two, three, four, five, six, pull, breathe to your side, recover, and enter right in front of your head. You would do your right arm down, and your left arm back, so, both the arms have practice.
Another great drill for the freestyle stroke is kicking on the side, with one arm in front of you, and being about 45 degrees in the water with your head straight. This allows you to really focus on your breathing. You can practice your breathing by breathing to your side every four kicks. One, two, three, four, breathe to your side. One, two, three, four, breathe to your side. This drill might seem a little bit challenging because it requires a lot of work from your legs, and you might get a little bit tired, but don't worry.
Take your time. The slower you do it, the better it will be in the long run. Next grade drill for freestyle is switching from one side to the other side. So you would start off kicking six times on one side. One, two, three, four, five, six, pull, switch, and then breathe to your side. One, two, three, four, five, six, pull, switch, breathe to your side. These drills help you rotate your body and be able to find your proper balance on top of the water with proper breathing. These are some drills to improve your freestyle stroke.

Swimming Drills for Butterfly Stroke
Published on Jun 24, 2013SSTattler:
- One-hand butterfly is relatively easy but two-hand by many stroke survivors is impossible...
- I use the a pair of “short” fins because it is better for the dolphin kick -- my right-leg is part of my disability and the efficient of kicking is about 50%... You have to try it with fins or not, and, for me, is very positive.
Learn how to do two swimming drills that will help you improve your butterfly stroke in this Howcast video.
Here are some excellent drills to improve your butterfly. The butterfly stroke is one of the most physical and challenging strokes in swimming. It's important to practice it slowly, take your time, and be efficient with it. The first great drill for the butterfly is the single arm butterfly. You start off with both of your arms in front of you, at an 11 o'clock position, or shoulder width arms. You pull with a single arm, just one arm, every four kicks. You will kick four times. One, two, three, four, pull; and then bring your arm outside the water, right above the water, to recover.
With this drill, you can breathe to your side to make it easier, you don't have to worry about popping your head outside the water as you're doing the regular butterfly. So, yes, every four kicks you pull with one arm. One, two, three, four, pull, breathe, and recover by bringing your arm right in front of you in a shoulder width position. Another great drill is pulling twice with one arm, twice with another arm, and then twice with both arms. This will help you to achieve balance and more control over your stroke. You can also do this drill every four kicks. One, two, three, four, pull twice, one, two, three, four. Then with the other arm, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, and then you would pull twice with both arms in the same fashion, one, two, three, four, pull twice with both arms, one, two, three, four, pull twice with both arms. These are some great drills to help you improve your butterfly.

Walking More Could Decrease the Risk of Stroke for Men
Published on Nov 26, 2013A study from researchers at University College London in the United Kingdom found that the risk of stroke for older men was significantly decreased in subjects who walked for several hours a day.
A study from researchers at University College London in the United Kingdom found that the risk of stroke for older men was significantly decreased in subjects who walked for several hours a day.
According to Barbara J. Jefferis, the lead researcher from University College London: "Stroke is a major cause of death and disability and it is important to find ways to prevent it, especially in older people who are at high stroke risk. Our study suggests that maintaining an active lifestyle, specifically by spending more time on all forms of walking, could be an important part of stroke prevention strategies in older people."
The results of the study are based on data from a long term survey of British men's heart health.
Starting in 1978, the men who participated as study subjects periodically filled out surveys about their level of physical activity.
Older men who said they walked for over three hours a day lowered their risk of having a stroke by two thirds.
The pace that subjects walked also came into play, and subjects who walked faster reportedly lowered their risk of stroke by 38 percent compared to those who walked at a slower pace.
