Why Bema started.

My passion to help for Stroke Survivors began in 2010, after my grandmother had experienced a severe ischaemic stroke. Sadly she was left completely paralysed; a once a strong, independent, caring and energetic lady and a huge role model in my life. It's not until you've been affected by Stroke that you realise it's devastating affects.

 Having watched the centre of my universe deteriorate, the passion and determination to understand the science of stroke grew, with the sole aim of giving stroke survivors  the chance my my grandmother never had.

 

Strokes are devastating and undoubtedly change lives, the impact is felt emotionally, physically and mentally not only by the individual but also by friends and family. I strongly believe that more can be done to help Stroke survivors. Therefore, with Almost 5 years of Stroke rehabilitation experience, the use of Approved ARNI Institute Techniques and 10 years exercise physiology knowledge,
I intend to make a difference.

More about ARNI.

‘ARNI (Action for Rehabilitation from Neurological Injury) Institute is a Charity with over 160 accredited, insured and active instructors spread across the UK, who support the hospitals by providing a community-integration path when therapy finishes due to time & resources.
It matches stroke survivors who require further ‘retraining’ with independent therapists and highly qualified fitness instructors. ARNI instructors accredit via the specialist level Functional Rehabilitation and Exercise Training After Stroke Qualification (UKSF Education & Training Course No. 35).
They assist community stroke survivors with the performance of functional task practice, physical coping strategies & stroke specific resistance training. The ARNI Intervention is built around the evidence base with multiple innovative techniques, including useful additions such as getting down to, and up from the floor safely and quickly without support from a chair or another person and how to create and use a stroke-specific task-training board to tackle upper limb weakness.’
