A member asked:
What can i do to improve this feeling of stiffness, after stroke recovery? i've already had months of rehab, but i'm so frustrated.

Post-stroke: stiffness. Please consider taking some training in qigong. See www.nqa.org to find a teacher. Tai chi may be an alternative but qigong would be better. Get some massage if you can. See abmp.com for referrals. Peace and good health.

Stiffness: Is it a FEELING of stiffness, or is it ACTUAL stiffness? Is it post-stroke spasticity or loss of joint mobility? Your problem is much more complex than you realize. You may want to see a physiatrist to assess your present functional status, long-term prognosis, & potential treatment modalities.
