WHY STROKE SYMPTOMS LINGER
After a stroke, the brain must form new connections to restore function. However, some neural circuits may remain underactive or misaligned, creating symptoms such as weakness, imbalance, coordination problems, or difficulty processing sensory information.
Lingering symptoms may occur due to:
Impaired brainstem, cerebellar, or cortical function
Loss of communication between motor and sensory pathways
Visual-vestibular mismatches affecting balance
Slowed neurological processing
Poor integration between the damaged area and compensating regions
Secondary changes in posture, muscle activation, or gait
Fatigue from the brain working harder to complete basic tasks
Functional Neurology focuses on identifying which pathways remain weakened — and activating them in a precise and measurable way.
COMMON POST-STROKE SYMPTOMS
You may benefit from Functional Neurology if you experience:
Weakness or loss of movement on one side of the body
Difficulty walking or maintaining balance
Coordination challenges or tremors
Dizziness or motion sensitivity
Vision changes or difficulty focusing
Speech or swallowing difficulties
Sensory loss, numbness, tingling, or altered perception
Cognitive challenges such as memory, focus, or processing issues
Head pressure or fatigue with minimal activity
Poor endurance or reduced ability to perform daily tasks
Emotional changes related to neurological imbalance
Even months or years after a stroke, the brain retains the ability to adapt and form new functional connections.
OUR STROKE NEUROLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
Your evaluation focuses on identifying which brain regions and networks require support. Testing may include:
Neurological motor and sensory examination
Balance, gait, and coordination analysis
Visual and eye movement testing
Reflex, tone, and muscle activation assessment
Cognitive and processing speed evaluation
Structural and proprioceptive testing
Functional movement and endurance assessment
Cerebellar and brainstem pathway evaluation
This gives us a detailed picture of how your nervous system is functioning — beyond what imaging alone can reveal.
TARGETED NEURO REHABILITATION
Once we identify which regions need support, we design a customized therapy plan. Treatments may include:
Motor and sensory pathway activation
Gait, balance, and postural retraining
Visual-vestibular rehabilitation
Eye movement therapy to improve processing and coordination
Proprioceptive stimulation for limb awareness and control
Structural neurological activation involving head, neck, or limb positioning
Reflex integration and tone regulation
Cognitive-based rehabilitation for memory and processing
Strategies for improving endurance and reducing fatigue
The goal is to activate the exact neural pathways weakened by the stroke — helping your brain reorganize and recover more efficiently.
WHY CHOOSE FUNCTIONAL NEUROLOGY FOR STROKE RECOVERY
Traditional rehab builds strength.
Functional Neurology builds function.
Our approach is different because we focus on:
Targeting specific brain regions affected by the stroke
Strengthening communication between visual, vestibular, and motor systems
Customizing exercises to your unique neurological profile
Using neuroplasticity-driven therapies to stimulate recovery
Measuring and tracking neurological changes over time
Addressing lingering symptoms that traditional rehab may not fully resolve
Many patients seek us out when progress has slowed or plateaued — and experience renewed improvement.
HOW LONG DOES RECOVERY TAKE?
Recovery timelines depend on:
The type and severity of the stroke
Which brain areas were affected
How long symptoms have persisted
The presence of visual, balance, or coordination deficits
Your body’s current ability to adapt and form new connections
Some patients experience noticeable improvements within weeks. Others may require a structured multi-week rehabilitation program to rebuild more complex functions.
Our goal is steady, measurable progress — helping you regain confidence, independence, and quality of life.
START YOUR POST-STROKE RECOVERY JOURNEY
If you’re still experiencing weakness, imbalance, dizziness, sensory changes, or cognitive challenges after a stroke, there is hope for improvement. Your brain is capable of healing — with the right stimulation and guidance.
We’re here to assess your neurological function, build a personalized plan, and help you achieve meaningful recovery.
