Especially common among senior citizens, deconditioning of muscles can lead to debilitating weakness, balance issues, and even injury. At Advanced Care Physical Therapy, many of our seniors have reclaimed their independence by improving their conditioning, strength, balance, and confidence through physical therapy. Read Ann S.’s story about how Advanced Care Physical Therapy helped her wheelchair bound husband, Glenn S., walk again. When my husband, Glenn, first went to Advanced Care Physical Therapy, he had problems standing, could not walk, and was wheelchair-bound, even after receiving physical therapy at another clinic. Thanks to Advanced Care Physical Therapy, Glenn is now able to walk with a cane and needs no other assistance. He is so much more relaxed and hopeful. What the physical therapist and support staff did at Advanced Care Physical Therapy was a miracle — it was nothing less than that. We want to give a big thanks to Advanced Care Physical Therapy for giving us hope, for until now, there wasn’t any. We will always be grateful for their care and kindness, especially at a time when we needed it most. Click here to learn how you can regain your quality of life at Advanced Care Physical Therapy!
Though many people look forward to wintertime to watch snow fall, wear cozy sweaters, and sip mugs of hot chocolate, winter weather also causes many perils for many Americans. According to the CDC, approximately 1 million Americans are injured annually as the result of falling on ice and snow. Read this story from Advanced Care Physical Therapy patient, David P., about his from a torn rotator cuff and bicep due to a wintertime accident. While helping a friend I slipped on ice and landed on my back. I received MRI and x-ray where my doctor told me I had torn my rotator cuff and bicep. I was scheduled for surgery, and six weeks post-op, I started coming to Advanced Care Physical Therapy twice a week for rehab. At ACPT, my therapists, Mike Nawrocki, PT and Linda Dilley, PTA, started to slowly stretch my repaired muscles so I could regain my range of motion, and after three months post-op, I recovered 90% of my range of motion. At the five-month mark, I was ready to move on to strength training. I finished physical therapy only a month into strength training, which was six months after my surgery. Mike said he wished all of his patients would recover as successfully as I had. He said he has never seen anyone as injured as me heal so quickly. My decision to go to Advance Care Physical Therapy was a great choice. Besides being conveniently located so close to my home, the ACPT staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They were a big part of my recovery and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. Click here to learn how Advanced Care Physical Therapy can help you recover from your accident injuries!
