From Dr. Tara Tobias of REHAB HQ

 

The stats are against us.   In the US, someone has a stroke every 40 seconds.    If you had one, there is a 25% chance you will have another one.   So basically, if you have 4 people who have had a stroke, there is a 100% chance that one will have another one and COULD be fatal.   But on the flip side, 80% of strokes are caused by modifiable lifestyle factors.   That means that you might have the power to alter the odds of becoming a “statistic”.   In other words, you CAN potentially prevent a second stroke!   In this video, I talk about how to avoid the high-risk category for having a second stroke and the ACTUAL things you need to start doing to never get there.   May the odds be forever in your favor     Tara Tobias PT, DPT, NCS Your #1 cheerleader Rehab HQ   support@rehab-hq.com rehab-hq.com
