Who We Are:

Stroke SOS in an organization founded by women stroke survivors in the Philadelphia area. We are looking to help guide and encourage the on-going recovery for stroke patients’of all ages to increase their quality of life. Our Services are designed to increase the stroke survivors’ awareness to recovery options and outside support resources’ for everyday living with a personal touch. We are eager to share with you our experiences and make available to you those resources and options that may help you to become more independent and better connected with others. We are committed to keeping these resources updated and to keep you educated on all your recovery options so that you continue being a contributing member of the community by keeping you active in everyday living. We are not doctors but have experienced what you are going through and our goal is to be sure that No Survivor is left behind"!

Recovery is a process not an event. It means working hard to get better, It also means learning ways to overcome or adapt to the effects of a stroke. We were always reading to better understand what happened to us. We found that there was not much on recovery because the brain is very complex and still somewhat an unknown muscle. So we investigated both the Eastern and Western Medicines and natural healing. There are no overnight miracles. We do know-Stay Positive! Don’t give up! Try something different every day! Track your doctors and Medications! Eat Healthy! Exercise! Message! Acupuncture! Chiropractic! Talk to others! Sounds overwhelming, we know, but this stuff really works!

The body is an amazing machine! It was made to heal itself. If we take what we have learned through our lives, in the Religious Scriptures, Biology, Chemistry, Health. The basic answers are right in front of us.

The following resources are available for everyone at any age. We have organized all the recovery options in one easy site, to make it easier for all of you. However since each of us are like snowfakes (no two are a like), please consult your physician on medications, diet and exercise limitations. If there is something additional you would like to share, please e-mail us. This site will update regularly. If you do not see what you are looking for or have something to share please e-mail us. Thank you for visiting us. We are here to help
