dear colleague to be,
What do you mean by spasticity release??
Where did you hear that spasticity can be released? Do you mean relieved?
Please specify, it will make it easier to understand what you are asking us.
kind regards
Esther

Dear Esther,
I want to know the method to reduce spasticity in stroke pts.
thanxs
dear Tganga,
Spasticity cannot be reduced with exercises, only with medication and that doesn't actually reduce the disorder itself either. I can recommend googling stroke, spasticity, Botox and therapy for more information on treating stroke patients.
You can read all sorts of practicle tips on http://www.icelearningcenter.com/about-us/stroke-help
dear Itsraining,
The article you describe is somewhat outdated. It was published in 1994. So much has happenend since.
I also suggest you read all the relevant posts here on this forum. A lot has already been written on the subject.
