IMO plateaux are a necessary part of healing from anything, as they occur to allow the body/mind interface to rest and gather strength for another surge forward. They happen with purely physical injuries such as fractures, so why wouldn’t they happen with the infinitely more complex links at the mind/body healing that we stroke survivors experience. It takes a lot of strength for us to heal, a lot of processes are involved, so we should not be afraid of those moments when our minds and bodies are ‘marking time’ before marching forward.
