🎉 A Journey of Unstoppable Progress: Celebrating Every Victory! 🎉
Today, we're bursting with pride and absolute awe as we share another incredible update on our dear friend/loved one's stroke recovery journey! His story continues to be a powerful testament to the human spirit's resilience and the profound impact of dedicated care.
He faced a very severe stroke on January 15th, a blockage in major brain arteries that profoundly impacted his movement, speech, and daily life. The initial days were incredibly tough, marked by significant weakness, a high NIHSS score, severe difficulties with communication (aphasia), and movement planning (dyspraxia).
But from that day forward, his fight began. We've watched in amazement as he's shattered expectations:
* Just over four months later (June 8th): He took his first unassisted steps! A truly miraculous moment captured on video.
* By early May: He was already finding his voice, able to count from 3 to 8. And by mid-June, he was saying meaningful words like "cake," "party," his favorite football team, and the names of his beloved kids and wife!
* And now, today, June 26th, just over five months post-stroke: He achieved two more monumental milestones! He was able to get in and out of a car for the first time since his stroke, and he successfully walked up two flights of stairs!
To go from such a devastating stroke to walking unassisted, regaining speech, managing car transfers, and climbing stairs in such a short timeframe, especially as he approaches his 60th birthday, is nothing short of extraordinary and deeply inspiring.
This rapid, comprehensive progress highlights the astonishing capacity of the brain to heal and, most importantly, his own immense courage and unwavering determination.

And let's not forget the absolutely vital role of family and friends. Their unwavering support, encouragement, and belief have fuelled every step of this incredible comeback.
Join us in celebrating these magnificent achievements and sending all our continued love and best wishes for his ongoing journey.

This individual's story is a powerful reminder that with hope, hard work, and a strong support system, truly incredible things are possible. ❤️

😴 Are you finding it hard to get truly restorative sleep? It's more than just feeling tired – quality sleep is absolutely fundamental for your overall health and even your body composition!
A fascinating study highlighted this, suggesting that maintaining a good sleep pattern can help inhibit the accumulation of fat. (You can read more about this connection here: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10540406/)
At Alex Physio, we understand that "good sleep" isn't just about avoiding insomnia; it's about the quality of your rest. Acupuncture, a powerful traditional therapy, has shown remarkable benefits in improving sleep quality across various populations.
Here's what recent research tells us:
* A recent 2025 meta-analysis on acupuncture for chronic insomnia disorder found that acupuncture significantly improved subjective sleep quality in patients (Source: Acupuncture for chronic insomnia disorder: a systematic review with meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis - you can find similar findings on PubMed, e.g., PMID: 40371085). While this study focused on insomnia, the direct measurement of "subjective sleep quality" shows that acupuncture helps people feel like they are sleeping better, regardless of a formal insomnia diagnosis.
* Even in specific health conditions where sleep is often severely impacted, acupuncture shows promise. A 2024 randomized clinical trial on Parkinson's disease patients (who frequently suffer from poor sleep) demonstrated that acupuncture significantly improved their nocturnal sleep quality and overall quality of life (Source: Acupuncture and Sleep Quality Among Patients With Parkinson Disease: A Randomized Clinical Trial, published via JAMA Network Open and reported by News-Medical.net: https://www.news-medical.net/news/20240701/Efficacy-of-acupuncture-in-improving-sleep-quality-for-Parkinsons-patients.aspx). This highlights acupuncture's ability to enhance sleep quality even in challenging situations, suggesting its broader potential for anyone seeking better rest.
Why do these studies matter for your sleep?
These studies, one a comprehensive review and the other a targeted clinical trial, provide strong evidence that acupuncture has a tangible effect on how well people sleep. They move beyond simply addressing a diagnosis like insomnia to showing direct, measurable improvements in the quality of sleep, whether through subjective patient reports or validated sleep scales. This suggests that acupuncture can help regulate the body's natural sleep mechanisms, leading to more restorative rest for a wide range of individuals.
Invest in your sleep, invest in your health!

🌟 Patient Progress Highlight 🌟

We’re honoured to share the incredible recovery journey of one of our courageous clients who suffered a severe stroke earlier this year — and just last week, took his first unassisted steps. 🙌

🧠 On 15/01/2025, he was admitted with a large blockage in two major arteries in the brain (the left ICA and MCA). In simple terms, this was a very serious stroke that affected the left side of his brain — the area responsible for movement and speech. He arrived with significant right-sided weakness, difficulty speaking and understanding language (aphasia), and motor planning challenges (dyspraxia).

His stroke severity score (NIHSS 20/42) and reduced consciousness (GCS 11/15) indicated a critical condition and a long, uncertain road to recovery. Thanks to urgent treatment at LRI and being thrombolysed in time, that journey could begin.
But a journey like this is rarely walked alone. The presence, help, and support of his family and friends has played an absolutely vital role in every milestone reached. It’s a powerful reminder that love, support, and belief can fuel the most extraordinary comebacks.

👏 Let’s celebrate this amazing achievement — and the unwavering team effort behind it.

🌟 Amazing Progress After Just ONE Radial Shockwave Treatment for Frozen Shoulder! 🌟

We’re thrilled to share the story of a patient who came to us struggling with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) — a condition known for intense shoulder pain and limited mobility.

👉 The Journey:

The patient had her initial consultation, and we began radial shockwave therapy right away during the same visit.

She was also provided with a personalized home exercise program — delivered in easy-to-follow audio and video format to support her recovery between sessions.

Just 10 days later, she returned for a follow-up session and the results were outstanding!

✅ After only one treatment:
✔️ Significant pain reduction
✔️ Noticeably improved shoulder mobility
✔️ Less stiffness and more freedom of movement
✔️ Better function in daily activities

💥 Radial shockwave therapy is a non-invasive, effective approach that helps reduce inflammation, break down scar tissue, and promote healing — and it’s working fast!

📩 If you're suffering from shoulder pain or stiffness, don’t wait. Early treatment can lead to quicker recovery. Message us to book your consultation and start your journey to a pain-free life!
