Linda's story

"In 2016, after two strokes, my rehab experience was far from satisfactory. I couldn't talk or walk and was constantly told, 'Six months is the limit, after that, no more recovery.'

Back then, I didn’t know better. The early months felt like I was bound to an imaginary bomb that would go off after six months.

I was deeply worried: Was I showing enough progress to stay in rehab? I was a wreck—sleepless, in pain, and approaching the dreaded six-month mark with no visible improvement.

When six months passed, I could still barely speak, writing was a challenge, and I was barely out of my wheelchair. Though I could walk with a cane and a brace, it was far from a normal life.

I wondered: 'Is this all? Will I remain so dependent for the rest of my life?' No, I decided I wouldn’t be a 'patient' anymore. I chose to forge my own path. I read hundreds of books and research papers and applied the latest scientific insights to my situation. It was a process of trial and error, but it changed my life for the better."

"After years of hard work and training, I can now speak reasonably well and walk almost normally. These experiences revealed to me that traditional stroke rehab approaches often fall short."
 

Why Do Doctors and Therapists Miss the Mark?

  • Lack of Knowledge on Neuroplasticity: Many doctors and therapists are unaware of recent research on neuroplasticity and how to apply it to stroke patients.
  • Insurance Limitations: In the Netherlands, insurers impose a six-month limit on rehab, not based on patient needs but financial convenience. This system is outdated and unfair.

With the knowledge I gained, I envisioned the ideal rehab clinic. Nearly two years after my stroke, I met Arjan, a warm & kind expert in brain injury. Together, we founded Brain Rehab to create the best clinic and rehab programs, free from political and economic constraints.

INTRODUCING

Science-Based Rehabilitation at Stroke Rehab

 

Scientific evidence shows that recovery is still possible after six months. Your brain even has the capacity to recover throughout your life, even after severe damage such as a stroke or infarction. Often however, the most recent and highly effective scientific insights, such as neuroplasticity, spasticity optimization, and new training techniques, are often not fully utilized. Essential aspects like neuro-inflammation and fatigue are also frequently inadequately addressed.

At Stroke Rehab in Zutphen, we apply these advanced insights to promote your recovery, even beyond the initial six months. We have already achieved significant success with clients from all over the world, helping them to make remarkable progress in their recovery journeys.

Fortunately, your brain has the potential to continue recovering. Scientific research confirms that, with the right approach, further improvement is possible. This recovery is supported by intensive, frequent, and long-term stimulation of your brain, such as movement and sensory stimuli, as well as specific and targeted training.

 

Common complaints after a stroke or infarction can include:

  • Mental and physical fatigue
  • Spasticity and movement weakness
  • Sensitivity to light and/or sound
  • Quick overstimulation
  • Sleep problems
  • Concentration and thinking difficulties
  • Balance issues
  • Motor and coordination problems
  • Visual disturbances
  • Mood swings

Stroke Rebel: Optimizing Neuroplasticity to Beat the Odds

STROKE REBEL shows how Linda, an entrepreneur and former model is fighting her way back to living life successfully after a massive stroke at a young age. Linda’s story serves as a blueprint and source of realistic hope for stroke survivors.

About the Author
Linda was the epitome of success in virtually all facets of her life before tragedy struck. She was a wife, mother of three, former model, entrepreneur, and spoke five different languages. However, in April 2016, she suffered a massive stroke at the age of 43, which turned her life upside down. Unfortunately, a blood clot was treated too late and caused extensive damage to the right side of her brain.

The stroke left her completely paralyzed on her left side and unable to speak. The doctors could not provide any answers about whether or not she would regain use of her left arm and leg, or talk again.

Linda’s road to recovery looked bleak. The process was long, stressful, painful, and filled with setbacks. She had to deal with neuropathic pain so severe that she contemplated giving up on life.

In a recent interview, she shared, “That was absolute rock bottom. At that point, I made a decision—to fight and become ‘a warrior and a rebel’ in my own life, and find ways to help other stroke survivors.” Get the free audio-book version of Stroke Rebel here
