Patient Spotlight “I can walk confidently again. Many thanks!”

- Anne B.

“I began the first of two complete hip replacement surgeries. Coming to Rise the 1st week, I was unable to walkwithout a cane or walker, I was unsteady and, perhaps worst of all, shaky and in pain. After much work and encouragement from the staff, I made quick progress in balance, muscle strength, stamina and confidence. Work was difficult and not without some pain and discomfort but recoverywas successful. In the interimbetween rehab and the next surgery, I continued the regimen prescribed by Rise and began the second rehab the week following surgery. Mymuscles fought back again, but my therapist helped to relieve my pain. The entire staff encouraged me to work harder. Their work and support carried me through some sleepless nights and muscle cramps to walking confidently without pain quickly. Many thanks!”
