How To Recover From A Stroke?

My friend had a stroke 2 yrs. ago. She thinks she will get back to normal without increasing her physical activity. She has always been sedentary. I have been encouraging her to walk everyday for increasing amounts of time and have told her that she is more likely to recover if she continues to walk more and more. Who is right.
