Stage 1 Stroke Recovery: Goals, Flaccidity, and What to Focus On

Stage 1 stroke recovery is about protection, preparation, and setting the foundation for future movement. In this video, I explain the goals of Stage 1 and what to focus on when the arm or leg feels flaccid, heavy, or limp after stroke. At this stage, rehab focuses on: Understanding what flaccidity is and why it happens after stroke Protecting joints, muscles, and the shoulder during early recovery Supporting the nervous system as the brain begins to heal Using evidence-based strategies to prepare the body for future movement 💡 Stage 1 is not about strengthening or forcing movement. It’s about creating the right conditions for recovery to begin. 👉 Not sure if you’re truly in Stage 1 or what stage you’re actually in?
