Stroke Therapy Revolution

Stroke Therapy Revolution LTD is a rehabilitation service built around the internet rather than a waiting room. It works with people who have had a stroke or another type of brain injury and delivers its programmes through online sessions, wherever the patient happens to live. The company is registered in Marsalforn, the small resort on the north coast of Gozo, and appears in our directory of physiotherapists in Malta.

Because treatment is remote, this is not a place you visit while on holiday. It is more relevant to families who want specialist rehabilitation support at home, including Spanish-speaking households in the UK. The website and its resources are written in Spanish, so check the language fit before getting in touch.

Tele-rehabilitation in practice

It operates as a tele-rehabilitation clinic: patients receive personalised programmes, with online sessions led by professionals trained in neurocognitive recovery. Each plan is designed individually and combines specific exercises with audio and video resources aimed at the patient and also at relatives, who are encouraged to take part in every stage of recovery.

Evaluation happens in real time over video, and different digital platforms are used to share the exercise material. The mission is to let people anywhere in the world recover after a stroke through a neurocognitive approach at home, overcoming financial and geographic barriers, with patients, professionals and families all actively involved.

As this page covers a rehabilitation service, it offers no medical advice. Decisions about treatment should always be taken with your own clinicians.

The neurocognitive method and the Resilient programme

The therapeutic approach is neurocognitive therapy following the method developed by Professor Perfetti, which the team treats as a leading route to rehabilitation after a stroke or brain injury. Its flagship offer is the Resilient programme, a remote rehabilitation plan sold on a subscription basis.

Resilient includes teleconsultations with the team, ongoing follow-up and a guide to exercises that the patient carries out at home with the help of a family member and the team's instructions. Prices are not published on the site, so ask when you enquire. If you are considering a longer stay on the island while continuing therapy online, our Malta relocation guide and digital nomad guide explain the practicalities of living and working here.

Founder, team and training

The company was founded by Dr Valerio Sarmati, its director and chief executive. He holds a degree in rehabilitation sciences and physiotherapy, teaches neurotraumatological rehabilitation at La Sapienza University in Rome, and trained directly under Professor Perfetti. He has spent more than 20 years developing home-based rehabilitation systems.

The wider team includes neurocognitive therapists, a language therapist, operations, technology and project management roles, and a sales adviser, with the specialist group based in Spain. The same organisation runs the Neurocognitive Academy, which provides professional training for therapists.

Dr Sarmati has also written a book, EnteraMente, which shares his own experience of stroke recovery and the Perfetti approach, and a free e-book, 10 things you did not know about stroke, includes four exercise videos. For general wellbeing alongside therapy, the nutritionists listed in our directory, such as A New Better Life, are another local resource.

Gozo base and getting in touch

The registered address is on Saint Mary Street in Marsalforn, a seaside village that is also a base for exploring the island. For background on the islands as a whole, our about Malta overview is a good place to start, whether you are visiting family or planning a longer stay. Our Gozo guide covers getting there and what to see, and things to do in Malta has wider ideas. If you are flying in from the UK, see flights to Malta and the Malta weather guide before you travel.
