Theresa Roberson has overcome incredible challenges—and she continues to inspire those around her!
We’re proud to recognize Ms. Roberson as Patient of the Month for Encore Rehabilitation–Semmes!
Ms. Roberson was diagnosed with Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO), a rare autoimmune neurological condition that affects the central nervous system. NMO primarily affects the spinal cord and optic nerves and can cause symptoms including muscle weakness, paralysis, changes in sensation, and vision problems. Although NMO can sometimes be confused with multiple sclerosis, it is a separate condition.
For Ms. Roberson, NMO resulted in paraplegia. Through the challenges she has faced, she has remained committed to Physical Therapy and worked hard to maintain her independence.
Just as remarkable is the positive attitude Ms. Roberson has maintained throughout her years of therapy! Her determination and outlook have made an impact far beyond her own recovery, inspiring both the Semmes Rehab Team and other patients along the way.
Congratulations, Ms. Roberson! We’re proud to celebrate your perseverance and all you continue to accomplish!
