The Frazier Family Coalition for Stroke Education and Prevention offers workshops for patients and their friends and families after a stroke.
Learn steps to keep your brain and body healthy and decrease the risk of having a stroke. We will go over tips about exercise, healthy nutrition, sleep, and keeping engaged in cognitive and social activities.
We will talk about fundamental principles of exercise, healthy nutrition, healthy sleep hygiene, and explain how to link these to post-stroke care including occupational and physical therapy, psychotherapy and mind-body practices such as yoga, meditation, and prayer.
This talk will give an overview of the new options available in 2022 and also the current clinical trials happening in the Philadelphia region. We also talk about new approaches currently being tested in laboratories in the Philadelphia region that could allow doctors to one day literally rebuild the brain after a stroke.
Enjoy special giveaways and a boxed lunch for those who attend in person.
