The Stroke Association have initiated a new ‘Exercise-based Stroke Rehabilitation service‘ where it signposts stroke survivors to evidence based exercise options. Clients must be referred by a health professional, such as their physiotherapist, GP, stroke specialist nurse or occupational therapist. The service provides a 12 week programme of exercise and education sessions for stroke survivors, to reduce their risk of secondary stroke and improve their levels of physical fitness and function. The exercise sessions are delivered by a specialist exercise instructor at the leisure centre who has completed the Exercise after Stroke (EfS) training course delivered by Later Life Training.
