Behaviour change strategies
Behaviour change strategies can be used to help survivors of stroke start and sustain exercise/physical activity programs. There are thousands of behaviour change strategies which have been researched and shown to be effective.
The Stage of Change Strategy Tool provides some suggested strategies for clients at the different ‘stages of change’. You would have determined which stage your client is at by using the Stages of Change Assessment.
