Physical Therapy for Stroke Patients
Physical therapy for stroke patients is a crucial step in the recovery journey. At H2 Health St. Augustine, our stroke rehabilitation program helps patients regain independence, improve mobility, and enhance their quality of life after experiencing a stroke. Our dedicated team works closely with each patient to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique challenges and recovery goals.
Comprehensive Stroke Rehabilitation Support
Stroke survivors face various physical challenges that can significantly impact their daily lives. Our physical therapy and stroke rehabilitation services focus on addressing these challenges through evidence-based interventions. Our approach includes:
Mobility and Balance Training
Our physical therapy treatment for stroke patients emphasizes mobility restoration through targeted exercises and techniques. We work on improving balance, coordination, and walking patterns to help patients navigate their environment safely and confidently.
Strength and Motor Control Development
Weakness on one side of the body is common after a stroke. Our physical therapy interventions for stroke recovery focus on strengthening affected muscles and improving motor control through functional activities that promote neuroplasticity – the brain's ability to reorganize and form new neural connections.
Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Training
Regaining independence in everyday activities is a primary goal of stroke rehabilitation physical therapy. Our therapists provide practical training for essential tasks like dressing, bathing, and eating, adapting techniques to each patient's abilities.
Our Approach to Stroke Recovery
At H2 Health St. Augustine, we understand that each stroke patient has unique needs and recovery patterns. Our physical therapy stroke rehabilitation programs are designed to:
Begin Early and Progress Appropriately
Research shows that early intervention leads to better outcomes. Our therapists start working with patients as soon as medically cleared, establishing a progressive treatment plan that evolves as recovery advances.
Utilize Advanced Rehabilitation Techniques
Our team stays current with the latest physical therapy treatments for stroke recovery, incorporating innovative approaches such as constraint-induced movement therapy, functional electrical stimulation, and body-weight supported treadmill training when appropriate.

Our patients' achievements reflect the effectiveness of our stroke rehabilitation physical therapy program:
Carin, St. Augustine resident
“We found them through a PT who saw my MIL during a hospital stay in November. Between Liz and Alex, my MIL gets a variety of therapies designed to help her build muscle and complete daily living tasks independently. After a stroke 4 years ago, she’s struggled in a variety of ways. A recent illness caused some setbacks, which is why we looked for a facility she could receive therapy, locally. Thankfully, we have been able to arrange regular appointments and she’s improved vastly due to these sessions. I love how they think “outside of the box” to individualize her sessions and tailor them to what she wants to work on. We are excited to see how far she will go with these continued therapies!”
