“8 weeks ago I had my second total knee replacement done by Dr. Mayne. My first knee replacement was completed at Physical Therapy & Rehab Specialists with very successful results. I was able to return to sports like golf and tennis within a few months! Now, a returning patient to the clinic, I am nearing the end of physical therapy with my second knee. This knee too has made a great recovery, even with having a minor complication of a back strain. My physical therapist listened and addressed every concern. He was able to help both my knee and back recover as I’d hoped. I would recommend Physical Therapy & Rehab Specialists to everyone!” - Creston

Healthy Recipe

BLACKENED CHICKEN W/ AVOCADO CREAM SAUCE INGREDIENTS • 4 (4 oz) chicken breasts

Cindy Hubble, Office Manager

How long have you worked for PhysicalTherapy & Rehab Specialists? For 13 years. What is your role at PT&RS? I’m the office manager and work with the insurance side of things, as well as authorizations.

• 2 tbsp blackened seasoning • ½ cup plain, Greek yogurt • ½ avocado • 1 tsp lemon juice • ½ tsp garlic powder • ⅛ tsp salt • 2 tbsp green onions, thinly sliced

What is your favorite snack? Chips, I prefer salty snacks over sweets and of course, my diet Pepsi. Where has been your most memorable vacation? Hawaii. We have been there twice, to Oahu and the Big Island. I love the Big Island and could easily live there. What do you like to do in your free time? I love spending time with my family, especially my granddaughters who are 6 and 1.5 years old. “I like to make sure our patients feel comfortable the moment they make the first call to schedule their appointment and feel at home when they walk in the door for the first appointment. It’s a great feeling knowing that I have helped in the process and that they are satisfied.”

INSTRUCTIONS Place the chicken breasts and blackened seasoning in a large resealable bag. Seal and shake a few times to evenly coat the chicken. Lightly coat a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the yogurt, avocado, lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt and pulse until smooth and creamy. To serve, top each chicken breast with 2 tablespoons of the creamy avocado sauce and garnish with ½ tablespoon green onions.
