Stroke recovery during the holidays

The holiday season is here - a time for joy, connection, and yes, even progress on your stroke recovery journey! 

Between the festivities, sprinkle in moments to focus on yourself:

- Deck the halls while practicing hand and arm movements. Hanging ornaments or wrapping gifts can double as motor skill retraining.

- Bake with love - measuring, mixing, and decorating cookies are wonderful ways to improve coordination (and enjoy tasty rewards!).

- Rock around the tree by adding some dancing or gentle stretching to your favorite holiday tunes.

The holidays are for celebration, but they’re also a chance to weave a little recovery magic into your daily joy. Make it festive, make it fun! Every little step forward counts and this season is the perfect time to celebrate all you’ve accomplished so far.
