After rupturing my Achilles tendon, I was worried about being able to do the activities I enjoy, like walking around places or even continuing to do my part-time job. Now, after I’ve finished PT, I can walk without pain and am again walking for miles. I have also returned to work, which requires hours of standing and moving around. The gang at Focus has been great and has encouraged me all along the way. I still need to do exercises to build muscle, but I know I am going to be back to normal again. Thank you, Focus PT.” -Don Cock SUCCESS STORY
