Testimonials

Junaid Ahmed – Physiotherapist

Very informative and useful information which leads to achieve good results with the patients

Junaid Ahmed – Physiotherapist
R. Namushi, MD (United Kingdom)

‘A very important subject that is rarely discussed or considered during the management of most stroke patients. The highlight for me is the fact that exercise has better long term outcome than what we as stroke physicians spend our time such prescribing statins etc.’

R. Namushi, MD (United Kingdom)
