A member asked:

Is physiotherapy the best for stroke patients? how yoga would help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Both might help: Standard approaches, generically, include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. Once improvement begins, exercise is next, but key to emphasize that yoga might be beneficial once muscular control has improved. Biggest issue remains prevention of the next event. All my best.
