When Debbie Richards first came to Encore Rehabilitation-Fayette, she had very limited use of her shoulder due to a fractured humerus. Physical Therapist Assistant Marla Kizzire says, “Debbie worked super hard. Now she has full function of her arm again. I’m excited and happy for her!” Debbie is excited, too, because now she is able to go visit her grandson again. We wish you all the best, Debbie!

Meet Jessie Bowles, Physical Therapist Assistant at Encore Rehabilitation – Tillman’s Corner in Theodore, Alabama!
“Being a Physical Therapist Assistant is very rewarding. The best part of my career is seeing a patient succeed. Whether that success is seeing a patient perform a small task such as performing an independent straight leg raise or a large task such as returning to their career or sport, every milestone is important,” Jessie says.
Jessie has been a Clinician for two years and has been with Encore Rehabilitation for one year. She received her Associate of Applied Science degree-Physical Therapist Assistant from Itawamba Community College in Tupelo, Mississippi.
Jessie shares, “Not only do I feel like therapists impact patients’ lives, I feel that patients make a difference in our lives as well. I will never regret my choice to become a PTA.”
Thank you, Jessie, for your dedication and commitment to excellent patient care!
