*****Patient spotlight******

“I started physical therapy for a work related injury. I had hurt my shoulder. Kim was incredibly understanding when the injury happened and was great at explaining how all the other parts of the body played a role in my injury. We were able to work on all the proper body mechanics to help strengthen my shoulder and my back to be able to go back to work safely. All the staff are really knowledgeable and Kim really helped me create a plan to continue my exercises at home and at the gym.

This is my second time working with Kim and I will definitely be back if I need therapy again!!”

****Patient Spotlight****

“I came to Kim at Ivy Rehab with knee pain. Everyday activities like climbing stairs and walking presented me with issues. Eventually, we found out that I would need a total knee replacement. Now that my physical therapy is coming to an end for the current knee, I have never felt stronger and more secure while doing my daily activities. Within the next few months my plans are to have my other knee replaced and come back to Ivy to get taken care of. I know the team at Hinsdale will get me taken care of!”

See our page next week for another wonderful patient Spotlight!

Ivy Rehab would like to acknowledge a patient spotlight, see our patient of the week-

“I started therapy due to my MD referring me to Ivy for my lower back. Prior to treatment at Ivy I couldn’t do all the things I love like play golf, pickle ball and even just walking. Now that I am finishing my program, I am now doing all my hobbies like I never had an injury! Moving into the future my goals are to build a regular exercise routine and maintain my health to keep getting stronger. Thanks Ivy!”

*** PATIENT SPOTLIGHT ***
Ivy Rehab at Hinsdale wants to take this opportunity to celebrate a patient graduation today. Meet our patient-

“I was diagnosed with Spinal Stenosis. After surgery I started PT to regain movement and strength, that I had lost before being officially diagnosed. Before therapy I could not do my normal everyday activities. Some of which being: turning over in bed, sitting in a chair, and standing in my kitchen at the counter. Now that I am officially graduated from my physical therapy program, I can do all these activities! I am sleeping without any pain, feel stronger and most importantly feeling like myself again. Moving into the future I plan to keep up with my exercises and maintain or exceed my current strength. I am once again more comfortable participating in leisure activities with my family and friends. I would have not been able to do all of that without the help and encouragement I received from Kim and the team at Ivy Rehab!”

Come back next week, for the next success story!

Always fun when you’re on vacation and meet a patient of IvyRehab on your ATV tour! He loved his experience in Sparta, New Jersey! Thanks Sparta team!!
