What are some ways to continue making progress, even years later?
As I have done. After a misdiagnosis of my failing right hand after 10 years, I was referred to a remedial class of three weeks and now I can eat with both of my hands.
Strategies for Continued Progress
- Consistent Rehab Routine: Whether you’re still in therapy or working on your rehab at home, being consistent in your rehab routine is one of the most significant factors in recovery. The brain likes routine and familiarity, so it prioritizes the pathways used most often.
- Lifestyle: A healthy diet, regular physical activity, and adequate sleep all support brain health and overall well-being, creating an optimal environment for recovery.
- Mental and Emotional Health: Recovery is more than just physical improvement. Taking care of and seeking support for mental and emotional health is just as important.
- Community and Support Groups: Connecting with others who are going through something similar can provide invaluable support and motivation.
Remember, a timeline doesn’t define your progress!
Take care,
Elyse
