The worry
Too many therapists, no one connecting the dots
Physio on Monday, speech on Thursday, a psychologist somewhere in between — and you’re the one holding it all together.

What the evidence says
The first months after a stroke shape recovery.
Manastik’s care pathways are guided by senior clinicians of the Indian Federation of NeuroRehabilitation (IFNR) — including Prof. (Dr.) Nirmal Surya, President-elect of the World Federation for NeuroRehabilitation, and Dr. Abhishek Srivastava, India’s first PhD in Neurological Rehabilitation from NIMHANS. Manastik has also signed an MoU with NIMHANS to support India’s first government-led brain health programme.
In the Copenhagen Stroke Study of 1,197 people, 80% reached their best level of daily-living function within 6 weeks of a stroke, and 95% within 12.5 weeks.
The brain is most adaptable early on. Research in animal models shows a time-limited window of heightened neuroplasticity opens after a stroke, during which the greatest gains in recovery occur. Murphy TH & Corbett D. Nat Rev Neurosci 2009 (opens in a new tab)
Recovery is fastest in the first 10 weeks. The passage of time alone explained 16–42% of the improvement seen in the first 6 to 10 weeks after a stroke. Kwakkel G et al. Stroke 2006 (opens in a new tab)
Practice is the dose. Across 312 observed therapy sessions, people practised an average of only 32 task-specific arm movements per session — likely too few to drive the brain’s rewiring on their own. Lang CE et al. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2009 (opens in a new tab)
More therapy time, better recovery. In a meta-analysis of stroke rehabilitation trials, more time in therapy predicted greater improvement. Lohse KR et al. Stroke 2014 (opens in a new tab)
Online therapy holds its own. Telerehabilitation showed no difference from in-person therapy on daily activities, balance and arm function after stroke. Laver KE et al. Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2020 (opens in a new tab)
Key takeaway: start neurorehabilitation as soon as the medical team says it is safe, practise every day at home between sessions, and keep going — the early months matter most, but it is never simply “too late” to improve.

Questions families ask
Neurorehabilitation at home, answered.
How does home physiotherapy work if my father can’t move after a stroke?
Home neuro physiotherapy can begin even while your father is still in bed. A neuro physiotherapist assesses him at home first, then starts with safe positioning, assisted movement and sitting balance.
- Family members learn safe turning and transfers
- Sessions progress towards standing and walking
- A Care Navigator coordinates physio with speech and occupational therapy
Is it too late for stroke rehabilitation six months after a stroke?
No, it is not too late. Recovery is fastest in the first three months, when neuroplasticity is highest, but many people keep improving long after that with focused, repetitive practice.
- Task-specific training still builds strength and skill
- Goals shift towards independence in daily life
- Daily home practice adds to every session
Can my mother get online speech therapy for aphasia after a stroke?
Yes. Online speech and language therapy works well for many people with aphasia after a stroke, especially when a family member helps set up the video call.
- Sessions cover word-finding, understanding and conversation
- Practice activities are set on the Manastik app between sessions
- Swallowing problems may still need an in-person assessment
What does a Care Navigator do for a family caring for someone with Parkinson’s or dementia?
A Care Navigator is your single point of contact for the whole rehabilitation plan. They understand your family’s needs, connect you with the right therapists and keep everyone working towards the same goals.
- Schedules physio, speech, cognitive and psychological therapy
- Shares progress updates with the family
- Adjusts the plan with the clinical team
What is the difference between neurorehabilitation and regular physiotherapy?
Neurorehabilitation is a team approach for conditions of the brain, spinal cord and nerves; physiotherapy is one part of it. It treats movement, speech, thinking, mood and daily living together.
- Led by specialists trained in neurological recovery
- Uses task-specific practice that drives neuroplasticity
- Covers stroke, brain injury, Parkinson’s, MS and dementia
