Late Stroke Rehabilitation
Late Stroke Rehabilitation
- consider medical history, stroke severity, and consequences
- receive a personalized recovery approach
- start rehabilitation even several years after a stroke
Our medical strategy
Selective Precision Impact
In accordance with the laws of biomechanics, neurology, and rheology, this targeted approach optimises each of the vital systems, improving blood flow, enhancing metabolic processes, cellular renewal, and the elimination of non-viable tissues from the body. Eliminating energy deficits is a necessary condition for the gradual improvement of motor skills, such as walking, balance, coordination, and agility.
Effectiveness of Rehabilitation in the Late Period After Stroke
The main types of impairments that people seek help for include:
- Impairments in walking, motor skills, complex movements, and overall body weakness
- Muscle pain in various areas, spasticity, and cramps
- Limited daily living skills and difficulties with self-care
- Cognitive impairments, anxiety, depression, and apathy
A comprehensive, individualised rehabilitation program is developed taking into account the patient's medical history, the risk factors that led to the stroke, the patient's age, type of stroke, its duration, and the severity of its consequences.
General problem description
The late recovery period begins 6 months after a stroke and can last up to 2 years. During this time, the body’s rehabilitative potential significantly decreases, but it is crucial to continue recovery treatment. Properly organised rehabilitation can yield good results and expand functional capabilities.
The primary goals are to reduce stroke-related complications and prevent the risk of second and third strokes. Key issues during this period include paralysis, impaired motor coordination, pain, sleep disorders, depression, cognitive impairments, and dementia.
The pathological processes initiated by the stroke continue to progress, leading to a gradual deterioration of health. Therefore, rehabilitation during the late period must be conducted regularly.
-
Restoring Muscle-Joint Balance: Aiming to normalise muscle contraction function, improve movement coordination and balance, reduce spasticity and muscle pain, and enhance self-care abilities.
-
Improving circulation of blood, lymph, and cerebral fluid, normalising metabolic processes in the brain, and stabilising intracranial pressure.
-
Enhancing Cognitive Functions: Improving the integrative information processing function of the central nervous system, reducing cognitive deficits, improving sleep, and preventing dementia.
-
Optimising System Functions: Boosting the cardiovascular, respiratory, and digestive systems to increase the body's energy resources, maximising energy generation and distribution processes.
-
Improving Body Symmetry and Movement Patterns: Restoring correct motor patterns and eliminating unnecessary energy losses through improved body symmetry and alignment.
Objectives of the program
-
PreventionPrevention of risk factors for recurrent stroke.
-
Elimination of vascular insufficiencyElimination of vascular insufficiency and improvement of brain functions.
-
Recovery of motor functionsMaximising the recovery of motor functions.
Proprietary methodology
Professor Blum's Centre has specialised for many years in the effective recovery of stroke patients during the late rehabilitation period. The patented system of methods, techniques, and specialised equipment consistently delivers results, reducing the impact of stroke while simultaneously preventing recurrence. The patented rehabilitation equipment offers unprecedented adaptability and precision in targeting, with a defined range of intensity.
Controlled parameters such as angles, accelerations, and dozens of other factors lead to the intended response even from the weakest muscular and fascial formations. This activates neuroplastic and neuroprotective mechanisms, creating conditions for enhanced tissue regeneration, ensuring the improvement of functions even after the active recovery phase has concluded.
Constant monitoring of the range of motion and specific neuromuscular responses guarantees safety, ensures consistency and predictability of outcomes, and eliminates any risk of overload.
Patient stories
"Hardware" is the body, "software" is the soul, and the "user" is the mind (Rhacius). The more perfect the hardware, the more perfect the software can be installed. Conversely, the more impaired the body, the more primitive the software will be, and the more difficult it will be for the user (the brain) to live and survive in such a body.
Treatment Duration: 30 days. Results: Significant improvement in motor abilities, improved coordination, ability to kneel with support. Upon completion of the course, she returned home with a set of exercises and equipment for continuing rehabilitation.
Dmitry suffered two strokes within two days, a rare case with catastrophic consequences – his brain functions were impaired. He arrived in Spain in very critical condition and faced a long rehabilitation process. As a result of the treatment, all bodily and brain functions were restored.
Professor Blum’s Exclusive Rehabilitation System
The center is located in a picturesque corner of the renowned resort town of Marbella, surrounded by cedar trees at the foot of La Concha mountain. Here, science and technology blend with nature, creating a space where the body returns to balance and harmony.

Q&A
Yes. The reason we achieve stable, meaningful results is that our center uses innovative methods and patented rehabilitation devices. That is why patients come from all over the world.
We accept patients in a stable condition when they no longer need hospital care. We can pick up the patient from the hospital upon discharge and bring them directly to our center (including air transport). On site, there is a hotel fully adapted for people with disabilities and their caregivers.
Yes. After completing rehabilitation at our center, each patient receives a set of exercises to do at home.
Yes, we accept patients of all ages.
The main goal of rehabilitation is to give the person the highest possible quality of life. What does that mean? Being able to make yourself a cup of tea, go outside, walk the dog – in short, doing what you want and being independent. Otherwise, the person depends on caregivers who do everything as best they can and whenever they can. That situation permanently complicates life for everyone involved. That is why rehabilitation after a stroke is so important at any stage.
We can only answer that after receiving the complete medical history and treatment records, all test results, specialist reports, and a short video showing the patient’s current condition.
In neurology, there is a concept of the “rehabilitation window” – the period during which maximum recovery is possible. After a stroke, this window lasts about a year, after which it “closes.”
The most critical time is the first 3‑4 months of that year. At that point, the patient and family are often overwhelmed, unsure which method or clinic to choose – and time is precious. That is why you should start looking for a rehabilitation clinic while the patient is still in hospital, so you have a clear plan by the time of discharge.
During that time, you can send us the medical history, all test results, and specialist reports. We will analyze everything and prepare a preliminary rehabilitation program. Then, at discharge, you will know exactly where to go, what results to expect, and you won’t waste precious time.
