A Full Life After a Stroke Is Possible
Recovery doesn't stop when you leave the hospital.
We combine Board-Certified expertise with breakthrough technology like Vivistim® to help you reclaim your independence.
Why Standard Rehab Isn't Enough
If you or a loved one are recovering from a stroke, you may have been told that your progress has "plateaued" or that you simply need to learn to live with your limitations.
At FAM Rehabilitation, we believe differently.
The brain is capable of change. Generic physical therapy clinics often focus on "compensation"—teaching you how to use your strong side to make up for the weak one. While that helps in the short term, it doesn't help you recover.
To truly regain function, you need a program built on neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to rewire itself. This requires high repetition, specific task training, and a Board-Certified Neurological Clinical Specialist (NCS) who knows how to challenge your nervous system safely.
You don't need to drive to Philadelphia or Cherry Hill for this level of care. It is right here in Galloway.
The FAM Difference:
Expertise + Advanced Technology
We don’t just exercise muscles; we retrain the brain. Our stroke recovery program is led by one of the few Board-Certified Neurological Clinical Specialists in the region, ensuring your care is backed by the highest clinical standards.
What We Treat & How We Do It
Whether your goal is walking without a cane, buttoning your shirt, or returning to work, we build the plan around the outcome you want.
Gait & Mobility Training (Walking with Confidence) We use SoloStep body-weight support technology to eliminate the fear of falling. This allows us to challenge your balance and walking mechanics earlier and more intensely than standard therapy allows.
Upper Extremity Recovery (Occupational Therapy) We don't just squeeze stress balls. Our Occupational Therapy team focuses on functional tasks—dressing, cooking, and self-care. We utilize specialized neuro-rehab techniques to regain fine motor control and grip strength in the affected hand.
Tone & Spasticity Management If stiffness or spasticity is limiting your movement, we utilize positioning, weight-bearing techniques, and splinting recommendations to normalize muscle tone and improve comfort.
Cognitive & Visual Processing Stroke often affects more than just movement. If you are struggling with visual neglect (not seeing one side of space) or sequencing tasks, we integrate cognitive retraining into your physical movements.
Why Choose FAM for Stroke Recovery?
Many clinics treat stroke recovery like standard orthopedic therapy, focusing on "compensation" rather than true recovery. That approach misses what matters most.
At FAM, your care is directed by neurological expertise. We understand that stroke recovery requires a plan that accounts for neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to rewire itself through high-repetition and specific task training.
Evidence-Based Precision: We don't guess. We use proven protocols and advanced technology like Vivistim® and SoloStep to support the exact outcomes you need.
One-on-One Attention: You will work directly with your therapist every session. This ensures we can adjust your plan in real-time based on how your nervous system responds, rather than handing you a preset exercise sheet.
The "Whole Person" Approach: We treat the person, not just the condition. Your goals—whether that's walking, cooking, or returning to work—become our goals.

FAQs
Is it too late for me to recover more function?
Neuroplasticity (the brain's ability to change) is possible years after a stroke. While the fastest recovery often happens early, we work with many "chronic" stroke survivors who make meaningful gains in function, especially with tools like Vivistim.
How is this different from the rehab I got in the hospital?
Hospital rehab focuses on getting you safe enough to go home. Outpatient neuro-rehab at FAM focuses on getting you back to your life. We have the luxury of time and specialized equipment to push for higher-level goals.
Do I need a referral?
It depends on your insurance plan. Call us, and we will tell you what you need before your first visit.
Do I need to be "fresh" out of the hospital to benefit?
No. While early rehab is critical, neuroplasticity (brain change) is possible years after a stroke. We work with many "chronic" stroke survivors to help them regain function they thought was lost.
How soon will I notice progress?
Many people notice early changes first in daily function, safety, and confidence. Your timeline depends on the severity of the stroke, your overall health, and the consistency of your therapy.
Is Vivistim® right for me?
Vivistim is FDA-approved for chronic stroke survivors with moderate to severe hand and arm impairment. During your evaluation, we can determine if this specific technology is appropriate for your recovery goals.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Any recent medical notes, a list of medications, and any devices you currently use (brace, cane, walker, or wheelchair).
