When asked about the motivation for writing her latest book, Markley explained: "Following the publication of the first two books, I received many messages from survivors asking me if I have a book just on arm and hand recovery.  Since the Corona Virus has forced me to take time off from work, I used the opportunity to write this book."

Losing the use of the arm/s is common among stroke survivors. Many also experience spasticity, stiffness and uncontrollable muscle tightness which further compounds the difficulty of arm movement.  Sadly, for many stroke survivors around the globe, insurance does not provide enough visits for them to achieve optimum recovery. This result in thousands worldwide desperately seeking help to further their recovery.  Unfortunately, the quest to find help these days is being compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic.

With social distancing measures still in place to contain the spread of the Corona Virus, Stroke Recovery: Regaining Arm Movement is a timely resource for those who are unable to visit their therapists for recovery sessions.  It is also a vital resource for fitness and physical therapists looking for reliable information to help clients recovering from stroke.  The book is available in Kindle and paperback formats for a retail price of $7.95 and $14.95, respectively.  For further details, visit: www.amazon.com/author/tracymarkley.
