    Home-Based Healing with "Lights, Mirrors, Action" author Dr. Kenneth Monaghan

    In this episode of the Nurse Rosa's INsights podcast, Dr. Kenneth Monaghan shares his extensive experience as a physical therapist specializing in stroke recovery. He discusses the significance of neuroplasticity and home-based recovery, emphasizing the need for caregivers to feel empowered and informed. "The starting point for recovery is very much about changing people's beliefs," he says, highlighting the importance of mindset and motivation in recovery, suggesting that changing beliefs can significantly impact outcomes. Dr. Monaghan has over 32 years of experience in physical therapy, with the last decade including post-doctoral research on this topic. His answer to Rosa's "Billion Dollar Question" also proposes strategic uses for funding to improve health and wellness, particularly through encouraging regular exercise and caregiver support. Key takeaways: He emphasizes the importance of home-based recovery for stroke patients. Neuroplasticity can occur at any time, not just within the first six months post-stroke. Caregivers often feel confused and regretful about their loved ones' recovery. The book includes QR codes linking to videos for better understanding. Mindset plays a crucial role in recovery; positive beliefs can enhance healing. Regular walking can significantly improve health outcomes for all adults. Men often need more motivation to adhere to health and exercise regimens than women. Acknowledgment and encouragement can greatly enhance a stroke survivor's motivation. Creating a daily task list can provide a sense of achievement and motivation.
