The Imago Rehab Approach
Our approach to stroke rehab involves teaching our clients to think like therapists during their everyday tasks. Using the Action Learning Program for Stroke (ALPS), you will consider how you think and move with your affected arm and learn to confidently problem solve tasks in your own life. Our sessions will promote the recovery of your arm's function while equipping you with strategies for adapting tasks and situations to achieve your goals.
Imago Rehab makes specialized occupational therapy services accessible through telehealth. Our virtual therapy sessions allow clients to directly apply new skills at home, while also providing an opportunity to trial our soft robotic glove during home practice. This is how you will change your brain!
