This month’s featured patient

“When I first arrived, my condition was very serious. I had just spent five days in the hospital, during which I lost sensation in my feet and part of the right side of my body. I was unable to walk and had to use a walker to get around. My pain level was extremely high, reaching 10 out of 10.
After starting physical therapy at this center, I gradually began to improve. At first, my condition improved by about 10% to 30%, and today I can say that I have regained about 80% of my abilities. Although some exercises are still challenging and I occasionally experience pain in my back and knees, it is much less frequent than before.
This center stands out for the professionalism and dedication of its entire team. I would especially like to thank my therapist Vani, as well as therapists Radhika and Tracy, rehab aide Claribel, and patient experience coordinator Crystal. Each of them has been incredibly supportive, attentive, and knowledgeable throughout my recovery. They truly know what they are doing and have played a major role in my progress.
Thanks to their support, I have been able to regain a significant part of my mobility and quality of life. I sincerely recommend this facility to anyone who has experienced an injury or is dealing with a disability. Their work truly makes a difference.”
