xperiencing a
stroke is a
scary,
devastating
moment. With
your brain temporarily starved
of blood and oxygen, its
effects are all too often
long-lasting and debilitating.
While there is no one cure, nor
one set path for recovery,
working with a fitness
professional can certainly help
with the rehabilitation process.
Lee Cartwright survived a
stroke five years ago and found
rehab so rewarding he made a
life-changing decision: become
a fitness professional and work
with fellow survivors.
‘This is my passion now,’ he
said, ‘I will be trying to recover for
the re st of my life but while
doing that I can help others with
their injuries, both physical and
mental.’
