Strength In Motion : The Next Chapter Of Stroke

"A compelling look at how resilient huans can be" - Independent Book Review
Reviewed by Elizabeth Reiser

An honest look at the challenges of stroke recovery and the empowerment that comes with overcoming adversity.

Since suffering a stroke in August 2020, Terence Ang has put precedent on educating the public on the harsh realities of life after a stroke. He has done so with two books: A Cry in the Dark, "an emotional rollercoaster" of an illustrated memoir about recovery (IBR); and Emerging from the Dark, "an inspirational and unique guide to navigating mental health struggles after suffering a stroke"

This third instalment, Strength in Motion, focuses on the physical wellness perspective of the aftermath of a stroke. Ang shares how exercise and motion specifically helped with his recovery process. By developing a more active lifestyle, Ang learned the long road to a new normal can be achieved.

Various health professionals work alongside Ang to offer medical perspectives on recovery and why the physical element is of such importance. This, along with the shared perspectives from other stroke survivors, offers insight into different ways people work through their recovery process.

Ang includes several unique elements throughout this book, including handwritten notes serving as a visual representation of how he has had to relearn daily tasks people often take for granted. It is an impactful way to convey this message. Throughout the book, the reader will also find QR codes with a direct link to the exercises presented, giving the book the feel of a modernized workbook.

As far as the narrative style, Ang is an eternal optimist, and his energy is infectious. It is clear he has worked hard to overcome the physical and mental hardships of having a stroke, and he's done great work to show others how they can do the same.

Ang is honest about the fact that he was not always the best at taking care of himself before his stroke. In this way, his achievements feel attainable rather than something requiring superhuman capabilities. There is also the acknowledgment of having a strong support system making a huge difference; truth is, for those without support, recovery is less attainable. Ang does a lovely job using this book to raise awareness in this regard.

This book offers a compelling look at how resilient humans can be. Those who have had a stroke will surely benefit from the material provided—both the practical and the inspirational.
This is a great resource for stroke survivors and their families to use to get a better understanding of the recovery process.

★★★★★ Inspirational - Teresa James - Poet & Author
★★★★★ Emotionally gripping - Peter Okonkwo, Author
★★★★★ You will be mesmerized - Bridget Ball, Reviewer
★★★★★ Ang gives us an upfront and personal view of his exercise individual, and accomplishment - Jill Rey, Reviewer


★★★★★ The Best Book I've Ever Read - Literary Titan

Strength in Motion, the final installment in Mr. Ang's enlightening trilogy, delves into the nexus of exercise, physical therapy, and stroke recovery. This insightful book, enriched by contributions from several experts, extends its relevance beyond stroke survivors, advocating for a universally active lifestyle.

Mr. Ang's narrative is rooted in his personal journey of recuperating from a stroke. He presents himself as a fortunate individual blessed with access to medical facilities, a caring support network, and a community earnestly invested in his recovery. His humility, kindness, and unwavering determination resonate deeply throughout the book, offering inspiration and hope.

A particularly poignant aspect of Strength in Motion is its contrast with the experiences of those who lack such support. This disparity is skillfully highlighted, underscoring the significance of a nurturing environment in the recovery process. Dr. Shamala Thialrajah, among others who have been part of Ang's journey, provides valuable insights and expertise on the challenges and requirements faced by stroke survivors.

The book also serves as a personal reflection for the reviewer, evoking memories of a grandfather who suffered a stroke and the painful realization of the limitations faced without a supportive network. This personal connection adds a layer of emotional depth to the review, bridging the gap between Ang's experience and the universal challenges of stroke recovery.

Strength in Motion emerges as a significant contribution to our understanding of stroke recovery, symbolizing hope and the potential for renewal even in the face of adversity.

Terence Ang's world was upended in August 2020 when a sudden stroke forced him to confront a harsh new reality. This life-altering event sparked a deep creative fire, leading to his first book, A Cry in the Dark (2022), where he vividly chronicles his journey from confusion and despair to unyielding resilience. His heartfelt depiction of the battle to regain normalcy amidst emotional turmoil and harsh realities drew significant recognition, including a speaking engagement at the World Stroke Congress 2022.

With each subsequent work—Emerging from the Dark (2023), Strength in Motion (2024), and the graphic novel The Boy & The Man (2024)—Terence delves deeper into the raw, powerful experiences of stroke survivors, including his own. His writing and illustrations transcend mere storytelling, serving as a potent testament to the human spirit’s capacity for recovery and renewal.

Through his work, Terence shines a light on the often-hidden battles of stroke survivors, offering not just stories but a lifeline of hope, courage, and an indomitable will to rise above adversity.

    Strength in Motion is an informative and very well put together book about Terence's continued experiences with therapy after a stroke. This book helps you to understand how he deals with aphasia, physical therapy, and the daily routines to recovery. It is an even more up close and personal story of his life and those who are involved.  

    There are QR codes throughout the book which I enjoyed. I was able to scan and see the videos. As I moved through the pages of my Kindle, I scanned the codes that were available in the book. The video's are in correlation with the pictures on each page. Which truly makes this book and the testimonies come alive.

    Terence Ang has been an inspiration for me. His books about life after a stroke are full of information, feelings, emotions, struggles, and advice. If you have a loved one who has experienced a stroke I recommend reading this book. It gives you a better perspective of everyone involved from friends, doctors, and everyday acquaintances. 

    A GREAT READ!

    Strength In Motion: The Next Chapter of Stroke by Terence Ang is a fairly short read that is meant to help those who have suffered a stroke or are assisting those who have suffered through this event. The book does a good job off showing real world situations and experiences in a way that makes it relatable and easier to understand. The book also offers many different perspectives on strokes and the effectives that are felt over time afterwards. I think this could be a great resource that should be provided in hospitals and long-term care centers. This way people are ready access to such a source and do not need to struggle for a time while looking for help and guidance during such a trying time.

    As the sister of a stroke survivor I was interested in seeing what this book had to offer. The premise of the book, where the author really makes a case for the importance of regular and consistent exercise in the successful recovery from a stroke is imperative to denariation. My sister had a stroke when she was very young and her teenager years and we have seen firsthand how regular exercise has been the key element in her regaining function and her regaining a sense of accomplishment and a better quality of life. The author has journaled his journey, as well as accounts from other stroke survivors on the same Journey which helps showcase how various people struggled with various things and then how they overcame those struggles. This book is inspiring and heartfelt and I believe it truly is a must read for stroke survivors and their families as well as caregivers and medical professionals.
