Arnold Clavio begins physical therapy following hemorrhagic stroke

Arnold Clavio has started physical therapy following his hemorrhagic stroke.

The GMA Network broadcast journalist shared clips of his session with therapists in an Instagram Reel. Clavio said in his caption that he was taught various exercises with his arms, legs, and feet to help him return to regular movements.

“Dahil pagdurugo ng left side ng aking utak, na nagdulot ng hemorrhagic stroke, nagresulta ito ng pamamanhid ng kaliwang bahagi ng aking katawan. Natigil kasi ang normal na pagdaloy ng dugo at ang nadale na bahagi ng utak ay ang ‘thalamus’ area,” he said.

According to Clavio, his rehabilitation will last for one month up to six weeks.

“Sa mga nakaranas ng stroke , maaari ninyong sundan ang mga ehersisyo na ipinagawa sa akin para muling bumalik ang sigla ng inyong pangagatawan,” he said.

“Sama-sama nating malalagpasan ang pagsubok na ito sa tulong ng inyong mga panalangin at sa makapangyarihan na pangalan ni Hesus. Amen,” he added.

Clavio revealed that he suffered a hemorrhagic stroke in mid-June. He was driving home after playing golf when he felt a strange sensation on his right side, so he decided to stop at the nearest hospital.

In a previous health update, the journalist said he was out of danger and that the worst was over.

A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures or leaks, which causes bleeding inside the brain. This may be caused by a head injury or a weakened artery wall.
