KEY PROGRAM BENEFITS
Motor Recovery: Regain purposeful movement, strength, and fine motor control using brain-based strategies that promote neuroplasticity. These techniques help reconnect your body and mind - so you can move with more confidence, control and ease in everyday life.
Cognitive Gains: Strengthen memory, attention, and mental clarity - skills that support not just your recovery, but also your independence, confidence and qualify of life.
Pain Reduction: Our program uses specialized, evidence-based methods that encourage your brain to rewire how it processes sensations from your body. These brain-focused techniques can help reduce pain and discomfort common after stroke - leading to better sleep, improved comfort, and greater ease in daily movements.
Improved Body & Spatial Awareness: When stroke affects perception, even basic movements can feel disorienting. This program helps retrain your brain to better recognize your affected side and surroundings—improving balance, movement safety and your interaction with the world around you.
Break the Cycle of Learned Non-Use: After a stroke, it’s common to unconsciously stop using the affected arm or hand—especially when you can't feel your arm or movement feels difficult and frustrating. But avoiding use can actually reinforce weakness and slow recovery. This program helps you safely re-engage your affected side through guided, meaningful movement—so you can rebuild strength, confidence, and function, one step at a time.
A Lifetime of Progress: Recovery doesn’t stop when the program ends. You’ll leave with practical strategies and tools you can rely on for the long haul—helping you maintain gains, build confidence, and keep moving forward on your terms.

LED BY A TRUSTED EXPERT
Debra Battistella, MS, OTR/L, will guide you through every step of this program. With 24 years of specialized experience in stroke recovery, she’s dedicated to helping survivors and their families navigate the challenges of recovery with practical insights and heartfelt support.
Recovery doesn’t stand still.
Without the right support, survivors often experience:
Increased stiffness or pain
More difficulty using the affected arm
Loss of motivation or confidence
Greater dependence on others
The longer you wait, the harder it becomes.
But it’s not too late. The brain can change—and so can you.
You don’t have to settle. You just need the right path forward.
The A.R.M. program isn’t just about recovery—it’s about hope, empowerment, and a future filled with possibilities.
Are you a stroke survivor who is motivated, determined and willing to do the work it takes to get better?
Maybe you've made great gains but your arm is lagging behind.
You aren't alone. Many survivors are told, "This is is as good as it gets,” especially after the first year.
**THIS IS OUTDATED THINKING**
YOUR BRAIN CAN STILL CHANGE!
You just need the right approach...
The Arm Recovery Method uses specialized, brain priming techniques that spark neuroplasticity — the brain’s natural ability to rewire and recover.
Repetition Rules Recovery and we use clinically-backed strategies to get those reps in, even when movement is lacking...Strategies shown to improve motor function, especially when it feels like progress has stalled.
In the early stages after a stroke, recovery can feel rapid — and then slow down. You may have heard, “Most improvement happens in the first six months.” But that’s only part of the story and is not completely true.
Neurons around the injury are ready and waiting to be activated. They just need specific, targeted input to continue healing — and traditional therapy often doesn’t go far enough.
That’s where brain priming comes in. There are specific techniques designed to stimulate the parts of the brain responsible for movement — even if you can’t move your arm yet. They work by activating dormant neural pathways, preparing the brain to relearn motor skills, and creating the conditions for real, lasting change.
This isn’t wishful thinking — it’s neuroscience.
And it’s the foundation of the Arm Recovery Method.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What makes the Arm Recovery Method different from traditional rehab?
Is this program only for people who recently had a stroke?
Not at all. While early intervention can be beneficial, many people in the chronic phase of recovery (months or even years post-stroke) can see real improvements. The Arm Recovery Method meets you where you are—regardless of how long it’s been.
It’s not uncommon for stroke survivors to experience a plateau with conventional therapy. However, research in neuroplasticity shows that the brain remains capable of change—even years after a stroke—when provided with the right stimulus. The Arm Recovery Method is grounded in these principles, using high-repetition, science backed activities to help rewire motor pathways to make meaningful gains.
No expensive or complex equipment is required. We use simple, accessible tools—many of which you likely already have at home. You’ll get clear guidance on everything you need.
