An occupational therapist, physiotherapist, rehabilitation doctor or GP can help you decide which activities are appropriate and how much practice is suitable for you.
Practise safely
Use short sessions, take breaks and avoid pushing through pain or severe fatigue. Stop and seek medical advice if an activity causes concerning or unusual symptoms.
Possible stroke symptoms are an emergency
Sudden facial weakness, arm weakness or speech difficulty can be signs of a stroke. In the UK, call 999 immediately rather than using this website for guidance.
