From 0-100 with Encore Rehabilitation-Pelham!

“I went from zero ability to bend my knee or walk steady to normal walking within 6 weeks! I started Physical Therapy to regain the use of my leg. My Physical Therapist, Ms. Jarvis, knows exactly how far to push you. She is outstanding at encouraging and helping the patient reach their highest potential. She’s the best.” ~ Judy Byram, happy patient

Congratulations to Judy Byram, Patient of the Month for Encore Rehabilitation–Pelham!

Ms. Byram came to Physical Therapy determined to regain strength, mobility, and confidence in her leg.

Through hard work, consistency, and dedication to the rehabilitation process, she made tremendous progress and achieved an incredible recovery in just six weeks.

We are proud of Ms. Byram’s commitment to therapy and honored to be part of her recovery journey. She is shown here with Clinic Director Suzanne Jarvis, Physical Therapist.

Thank you, Ms. Judy, for trusting Encore Rehabilitation with your care! We wish you the very best!

Tanieka Cope, DPT, is nominated for the USA Health BEE Award!

Tanieka Cope receives BEE Award Nomination (Being Excellent Every Day)!

Tanieka Cope, DPT, was nominated for the BEE Award at USA Health in recognition of the incredible teamwork and collaboration she brings to our unit as a Physical Therapist and we are so proud of her!

Tanieka plays a vital role in helping our patient regain strength, independence, and confidence. She works closely with the nursing staff and other members of the care team to ensure that each patient receives the best possible support throughout their recovery. Her communication and collaboration make a meaningful difference in the care we provide every day.

What truly sets Tanieka apart is her willingness to work alongside the team. She is always approachable, always ready to discuss patient needs, and always focused on finding the best plan to help patients succeed. She understands that great patient outcomes happen when everyone works together, and she consistently makes that teamwork a priority.

Tanieka also brings encouragement and positivity to the patients under her care. She motivates them to push a little further, stand a little stronger, and believe in their progress. Many patients are hesitant or discouraged when it comes time for therapy, but Tanieka has a way of supporting and encouraging them, so they feel capable and safe during the process.

Just like the name of this award suggests, Tanieka is a true collaborator within our healthcare facility. Her partnership with nursing and the rest of the interdisciplinary team helps keep patient care moving forward in the best possible direction. Her teamwork, dedication, and commitment to our patients make her an invaluable part of our care team.

Congratulations, Tanieka! You are amazing!
