A case report shows spasticity reduction in an individual with subacute stroke, suggesting frequent therapy may be needed.

However, twice‐weekly sessions were insufficient for lasting spasticity control, suggesting that more frequent treatments may be required. Further research is needed to optimize treatment protocols.
