Your Go To Expert For Stroke Rehabilitation

When a stroke changes life in an instant, the right rehabilitation can help restore hope, independence, and momentum. At Origami Rehabilitation, we provide expert, comprehensive stroke rehabilitation for individuals across Michigan, offering personalized care that supports recovery at every stage.
 
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, causing changes that may affect movement, speech, thinking, vision, and emotional well-being. Because every brain injury is unique, recovery requires an individualized, coordinated approach.
 
Our stroke rehabilitation services brings together an expert interdisciplinary team that delivers one-on-one, individualized therapy tailored to each person’s goals, abilities, and challenges. From improving mobility and communication to rebuilding cognitive and emotional strength, we focus on meaningful progress that helps individuals return to the activities and roles that matter most as quickly as possible.
 
Whether recovery is just beginning or continuing months or years after a stroke, Origami Rehabilitation is here to walk alongside you wherever you are on your recovery journey.

What to Expect:

Our stroke rehabilitation may include:

  • Physical Therapy to improve strength, balance, coordination, walking, and upper- and lower-extremity function
  • Occupational Therapy to support daily activities, upper-extremity recovery, visual-perceptual skills, and independence at home and work
  • Speech-Language Pathology to address speech, language, swallowing, memory, and cognitive-communication challenges
  • Mental Health Therapy to support emotional adjustment, mood changes, anxiety, and depression following stroke
  • Psychiatry to support medical management that helps improve function and quality of life, including pain, mood, sleep, and other recovery-related challenges
  • Driver Rehabilitation to assess driving readiness and support a safe return to driving, restoring independence and community mobility
  • Vision Therapy to address visual field loss, eye movement challenges, and visual processing
  • Care Coordination to walk beside you throughout the rehabilitation journey, serving as an advocate and liaison between you and your entire care team to ensure seamless, coordinated care
The team at Origami Rehabilitation is incredibly devoted and professional. My 91-year-old mother experienced a severe stroke, and we have seen meaningful progress through their care—more than we experienced elsewhere. Their team truly takes the time to understand each patient, and their mission-driven, nonprofit approach is evident in the compassion and dedication they bring to their work.
