Repetitive practice of therapeutic exercises sparks neuroplasticity, which is the mechanism the brain and spinal cord use to rewire and repair themselves. Therefore, the goal of spasticity treatment exercises is to directly improve communication between the brain and muscles by activating neuroplasticity.
Hand exercises can help reduce stiffness from spasticity in the fingers. They can also build strength and dexterity, so you can hold and let go of objects. For this exercise, you’ll need a small therapeutic ball (such as a stress ball). Using your affected hand, hold the ball in your palm. Wrap your fingers over the ball and squeeze it.
One of the best exercises for spasticity involves shifting your weight as often as you can while sitting, says Hines. This is particularly helpful for people who experienced a moderate or severe stroke, which can reduce their ability to balance in a seated position. Sit in a chair with your back straight. Slowly shift your weight to one side.
Staying active is a biggie for keeping spasticity in check. Getting regular exercise is essential for physical and mental wellness, and engaging in the right activities that complement your overall spasticity treatment plan and diagnosis is key.
