First of all for Nico helping with his balance and strength on his right side after his stroke. He never goes anywhere without 2 in his right pocket of his trousers and shorts. He also wears one in his shirt pocket over his heart area.
Post stroke Nico had a couple of the PowerChips under a head band around the area where the stroke happened on the left side of his head.
When Nico saw the cardiologist last week interestingly enough he was so pleased with his recovery. He said ' You are doing really well with your recovery' bearing in mind the last time he saw him he was in a hospital bed paralysed down his right side a few weeks after his stroke.
Nico's stroke was apparently caused by Mitral Stenosis -which is a calcification of the heart valve which means for Nico his valve was not working properly, but he never had symptoms.
We want at all costs to avoid an operation to either repair or replace his valve. For now the Dr says he doesn't need an operation and I'm staying with that - hopefully he will never need an operation.
The brain can rewire given the right healing conditions and constant repetitive exercise of the areas affected. Nikken will play an important part in his stroke and heart recovery along with daily exercise, supplements, good clean diet and breathing exercises.
My son had a bad football injury in his hip and he wasn't able to play football or train. We couldn't tell if it was a tendon or muscular, but during that time he had a knee wrap which he pulled up over his hip area and slept every night with 2 of the PowerChips over the area. It was really painful but only in certain positions. Within a couple of weeks he was back playing football and training with no pain now at all.
The PowerChips have also been such an important part of my daughters healing when she shattered her right elbow joint. But I will talk about this on a separate post.
