With hundreds of studies being done for rehabilitation after stroke, each has shown two common factors that have the best results, Strength and Functional training.
Our program combines both of these disciplines piling hundreds of repetitions to help increase the neuroplasticity and the rehabilitation of the upper limb.
Training runs from Monday to Friday starting at 9am and finishing at 4:30pm with breaks. You will need to attend a consultation before acceptance to the course, this will be done via phone for initial assessment, then you will be invited for a physical consultation, upon acceptance of this we will then book you into the course.
Kieron is the founder and owner of JK House Training Centre. He traces his fascination with how our bodies adapt quickly to training, becoming stronger and fitter each day – to his service as a Rifleman in the Devonshire and Dorset Regiment. On leaving the British Army, he wanted to learn more about how the body works and responds in the way it does in order to support others.
He is passionate about helping stroke survivors lead a more independent life through stroke rehabilitation through instructing clients in techniques to challenge and beat their limitations and expectations. Kieron has now supported hundreds of clients in stroke rehabilitation and supports around 30 survivors at any one time.

Using the latest in Gripable technology, we will be able to record improvements in arm, wrist, grip and rotation activity to the slightest degree of change.
A stroke is a brain injury, It happens when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off, killing the brain cells. This damage to the brain can affect how the body controls itself. It can also change how you think and feel.
A stroke occurs when a blood vessel (artery) that supplies blood to the brain bursts or is blocked by a blood clot. Within minutes, the nerve cells in that area of the brain become damaged and die, and as a result, the part of the body controlled by the damaged section of the brain cannot function properly.
The effects of a stroke depend on where it takes place in the brain, and how big the damaged area is.

Haemorrhagic strokes are not as common as strokes caused by a blood clot (ischemic strokes). However, haemorrhagic strokes cause death more often than ischemic strokes.
