STAFF SPOTLIGHT

KEVIN HUGHES, DPT Meet Kevin Hughes, one of our DPTs at our Cordele clinic! “I completed my Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Georgia in 2005 and my Doctor of Physical Therapy from the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences in 2008.

INGREDIENTS • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil • 3 tbsp. freshly chopped cilantro • juice of 3 limes, divided • kosher salt • 1 lb. large shrimp, peeled & deveined

• freshly ground black pepper • 1/4 head red cabbage, shredded • 1/4 c. mayonnaise • 1 tbsp. sriracha • 4 medium tortillas

focus on orthopedics, and I’ve beenworkingwithBridget and Stacey in some capacity ever since I graduated from college in 2005. I have received additional training in Graston Technique and dry needling, and I am currently pursuing Vestibular Rehab certification. I live in Cordele withmy wife, Kathy, who is also a physical therapist, and my two children as well as baby number three on the way! We enjoy spending time outside playing with our dogs and riding dirt bikes and ATV’s. The thing I love about physical therapy is that we have the ability to empower our patients to take control of their conditions and learn how to fix themselves. I really enjoy teaching patients about how the body works and the purpose of the activities that we do in therapy so they can understand what their problem is and how our treatments will help. One of the most rewarding things about the job is seeing patients in the community I have treated in the past and hearing that they have kept upwith their exercise programand are still doing well, or if they did have further symptoms, they knew how to manage it on their own from what they were taught in therapy.

DIRECTIONS In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, cilantro, and 1/3 of the lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Add shrimp to a baking dish and pour over mixture.

PATIENT SUCCESS SPOTLIGHT

“I received treatments at SWGA Fyzical Rehab and have made a complete recovery.”

Our new reality of telehealth and in-home visits is new for everyone, but we have Toni Lanneau to speak on how telehealth can benefit you, and how we’re still here to help during times of social distancing! “In June 2019, I was experiencing some lower back pain but I contributed it to tweaking it while working out. Then, I went to Athens, GA for a conference for two days. We did a lot of walking over the two days in Athens. I woke up early the last morning in Athens with excruciating pain in my lower back.

FREE PHYSICAL THERAPY SCREENING

It was tears streaming down my face like I had never felt before pain. I could not even get out of bed without feeling like I was going to pass out. My sweet friends that were in Athens with me called Bridget Hathcock at SWGA Fyzical Rehab. She gave them instructions over the phone for 3-4 exercises to do with me in order to get me out of bed into a wheelchair safely. Bridget stayed on the phone while we performed the exercises, counting with us, and assessingmy pain level throughout the process. The exercises provided over the phone gave me enough pain relief that my friends were able to transfer me from the bed into the wheelchair and into the vehicle to ride home to Cordele. Once back in Cordele, I received treatments at SWGA Fyzical Rehab and have made a complete recovery. I am confident without the quick thinking of my friends and the over the phone therapy from Bridget, that I would not have been able to get me out of the bed. We would have had to call the ambulance. I am so thankful for great friends who came to the rescue with their quick thinking and the reassuring, calm, and thorough therapy that Bridget provided over the phone.” Don’t continue to live in pain or weakness because you don’t want to visit the clinic.
