spasticity exercise

My therapists also did not recommend exercising spastic muscles but that is an incorrect assumption now. here is an article on it about CP which i think also applies to stroke spasticity.

This book also reports on the controversy.
Motor control: translating research into clinical practice
Anyway, now I try to exercise every muscle on my affected side even if the form doesn't look good.

    How long has it been since your therapists have had any updated classes?

    I am the therapist now, you know do-it-yourself MD, and you should never treat yourself. The last time I saw a therapist in a clinical setting was 2.5 years ago.
