Nancy’s Journey
How Nancy Overcame Knee Replacement Recovery To Regain Mobility And Return To Daily Life
Nancy’s Story
In Nancy’s own words — her journey from knee replacement surgery to getting back the freedom to walk, work, exercise, and enjoy everyday life again.
How long did you wait before deciding to come to physical therapy?
Well, I had surgery, and I had to make a decision prior to my surgery to know where I was going to go. Basically, I came here because my grandson worked here.
What was going on prior to coming to physical therapy?
I had a total knee replacement.
What was this knee pain causing you to miss out on?
I had been walking on crutches because I had completely blown out my knee. I could virtually do nothing; no exercise, walking or shopping.
What would you say to someone who was hesitant about getting physical therapy?
I would tell them that they should check with their doctor and if their doctor approves, go to a physical therapist. I certainly would recommend that they come here. It was a wonderful experience for me.d.
Out of all the things that you enjoyed about coming here, what was your favorite?
It’s just such a pleasant place to be. Everyone was attentive and professional and it was a relaxed atmosphere which made it easier.
What was your goal and did we help you to achieve it?
I wanted to achieve total mobility with my knee so I could go about my daily activities and go back to work and do the things that make life enjoyable. And exercise! And I am able to do all of that now.
