“How long does physical therapy take after a stroke?”

Physical therapy after a stroke varies depending on the individual's needs and progress. Typically, the duration of physical therapy can range from a few weeks to several months, or even longer. Recovery from a stroke may continue up to 2 years due to the brain's "neuroplasticity". Therapeutic exercises stimulate the nerves to grow and form new neural networks. Recovery after a stroke has even occurred 6 years and 26 years after a stroke. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional who can assess the specific situation and provide a more accurate estimate.
