In reply to GLOSSIE. Hi Glossie! I apologize for not seeing your response sooner. Some of our customers use our rehab exercise tools daily. Some of them use it every other day. And others use it once a week. The more you exercise, the better your results will be. But at the same time, you don't want to utterly exhaust yourself and burn yourself out. So I would try for daily practice, but if that's too much, then scale down until you feel challenged but not burnt out. Does this help?

In reply to Flint. Thank you for replying. God bless you!! You said, "Do your best to be consistent." What is the best consistency? Is it every hour or 2 or 3x's a day or rest a day and do it again the next day? A fitness trainor once told me to do it and rest for 5 mins, then repeat it again. I hope reading the article will help me with consistency.

I had a stroke as a result of a horrible migraine (been getting them since I was 13….now 54). It left me partially blind in both eyes. I am a very healthy, active 54 year old and this was a complete shock. The doctors tell me it is rare, but this type of stroke occurs. Will I get my eyesight back? Thanks!

After reading your article on neuroplasticity, this explains why when I didn’t keep up my exercise on my drop foot, and it went back the way it was, or even worse. Do you have drop foot mind exercises to create another path to heal that part of the brain? I remember how my doctor said my stroke was neurological and that I would get better. It affected my right side. I had my stroke in March of 2015 after I took Alka Seltzer for a cold. On the fourth time of taking it, something moved in my head. I didn’t realize I was having a stroke until 2 days later. My couisn visited me in the hospital and she said ever body complained about it raising their high blood pressure. Thanks for your advise.
