“I drive my car with both hands. I am continuing PT. Hope lives.” Patient Spotlight What our patients have to say!
“Physical Therapy Specialties is the place where HOPE lives. I have been a patient here for years, having had many orthopedic surgeries, including a total spinal reconstruction in 2007. The staff was knowledgeable, caring, and was always committed to my recovery. In January 2018 I had a shoulder replacement after a fall. The fracture caused severe damage to the nerve plexus to my arm and hand, rendering my left hand virtually useless. My rehab program started immediately. In October I still had poor function in my hand and my surgeon ordered an EMG consult with a neurologist. My husband or daughter had to drive me everywhere because I could not use my arm to drive. After the visit for my EMG I returned to the waiting room sobbing. The neurologist told me that my hand would not improve because the nerve damage was too severe. When I saw my surgeon, he disagreed. He scheduled a frozen shoulder surgery and encouraged me to continue PT. Now, in March 2019, I drive my car with both hands. I am continuing PT. Hope lives.” - Julie B.
