physician andmyself; every step of theway we had to solve problems as they presented themselves.We had tobe creative to solve her issues and help her face challenges as they popped up (tendon transfer surgeries, nerve grafts) and the result was even better than expected. FYZICAL El Paso is committed to providing high-quality rehabilitation services. Our team of physical therapists is devoted to helping our patients recover from injuries and pain that make everyday activities way harder than they should be. Here at our clinic, the ultimate goal is to help you achieve your full potential and maximum functional level in work, sport, and life activities. Weunderstand that no twopain conditions arealike, andno two treatment plans shouldbe either. Imagine if the patient in this story hadbeen given “one-size-fits-all” kindphysical therapy treatment. What if she had never received physical therapy at all after her initial surgical mishap? There’s a good chance she might never have regained even 50% of her normal function back in that hand, and her life would have been negatively affected. She dedicated time and patience to physical therapy, she was consistent (with a great attitude at that!), and so she made a beautiful recovery.
