Anne D., Stroke Survivor, Former Client, Friend
"Where was this mirror therapy when I was in rehab? It feels kinda strange, especially because I don't normally feel my left arm and now it seems like I can...And by the way, I like these activities...especially the messy pom pom one! Therapy needs to have some fun!"
Catherine C., COTA/L
"I love everything about this program. The instructions made it so easy to learn!"
Colleen M. Pandolfino, MS, OTR/L
"This program is amazing. I think its going to be so useful to many far and near. We know stroke isn't defined by age, gender or class! And insurance companies don't help those individuals who really need it - recovery from stroke isn't based on a specific DRG!
There are so many patients who get cut from therapy yet are so motivated to get their affected limb moving again. This program really seems to fit the purpose for those patients really well...It's easy to follow and incorporates simple exercises and activities that most people have at home!"

BENEFITS OF MIRROR THERAPY
Mirror Therapy is an effective intervention for people with impaired arm function following stroke. Results can include improved:
- Range of Motion, Strength, Dexterity
- Overall function & Independence
This brain priming intervention is perfect to use with a person who has limited to no arm movement. Pre-movement centers in the brain fire when a person:
- Thinks about moving
- Watches another person move
- Attempts to move
Mirror Therapy triggers brain activity whether or not there is physical ability to move.
It is safe, effective and easy to use!
Show clients you care. Set them up for success today with The OT’s Guide to Mirror Therapy.
