You have to go all the way to Australia to get unusual and decent stroke rehab. Ask your therapist for this.

Maroubra's Sam Pavone struggled to leave the house after he suffered
a stroke two years ago but he has never looked back since discovered
Fishing 4 Therapy.
An experienced fisherman, he felt frustrated sitting at home every
day for 12 months watching fishing TV shows longing to get back out
there.
"I used to get very upset and angry," he said. "Now I'm positive and
as the fishing day gets closer I feel more happy and excited."
Not even experiencing another stroke in January this year could stop Mr Pavone from picking up the rod again four months ago.
Australian National Sportsfishing Association NSW made a
rehabilitation tool for him out of an old fishing rod recently so he can
build-up arm strength and movement.
ANSA NSW special projects officer Tony Steiner said everyone was blown away with Mr Pavone's results.
"Sam had gone from 'Mr Shy' to moving his frame around to all the
other attendees making sure baits were on correctly," he said.
"Sam shed a few tears of joy after being able to get back to his passion - that's the power of fishing."
