Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

GERIATRIC APPLICATIONS OF CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY: Established allied health professionals’ use of a complementary modality

A couple of lines in here on stroke.

Post-stroke and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs)
Therapists spoke about treating clients who have completed their standard rehabilitation post-stroke,
and others who have experienced TIAs. The outcomes they reported included improved
communication, including articulation, as well as improvements in movement, balance and stability
standing, expression, sleep patterns, and elimination. Sometimes the results were striking; one
therapist described a client who took 15 minutes to walk 20 feet to the treatment room making the
return trip after treatment quickly.

combination resulted in functional limitations. Ultrasound treatments gave
temporary pain relief for the bursitis. CST achieved similar levels of pain
relief, but also improved shoulder mobility leading to increased function.

Or another view of CST;

Craniosacral therapy may be helpful, but not curative

 

I personally can't see any possible way that cerebro spinal fluid could be moved by pressing on the skull without damaging the skull.

  1. When I was practicing, we had a guy do an in-service for us about cranio-sacral therapy. He showed us a technique where he was at the person's feet, feeling for the "flow" of fluid at the feet. Ummm, it's called cranio-sacral therapy. CRANIO (top of spine) SACRAL (bottom of spine). Ummm, there is no cerebrospinal fluid at the feet. Hogwash.
