Ms. Long is Patient of the Month for Encore Rehabilitation-Haleyville

Congratulations Teri Wilson Long, Patient of the Month for Encore Rehabilitation-Haleyville!

Ms. Long began her recovery journey after a total knee replacement in December 2024. In July 2025, she required a revision surgery on the same knee, which made her rehabilitation process even more challenging. Through dedication, perseverance, and the support of her Physical Therapy Team, Ms. Long has made tremendous progress.

She shares, “I would not have progressed as well as I did without the great staff and physical therapy I received. Everyone was amazing! I would recommend Encore Rehabilitation-Haleyville because the staff is excellent, very knowledgeable, and helpful.”

Pictured with Ms. Long are Clinic Director and Physical Therapist Bradley Bailey and Physical Therapist Ashley Crisp.

We are so proud of Ms. Long, for her hard work and determination throughout her recovery. Thank you, Ms. Long, for choosing Encore Rehabilitation – Haleyville!

Ms. Tucker is back to doing the things she loves thanks to rehab with Encore Rehabilitation-Brookley Field

“When I first started Occupational Therapy, I was in severe pain. Then I learned some exercises that helped me get my wrist and hand moving again. I would recommend Encore to anyone who needs rehab! I really appreciate the care I was given here. I am now able to get back to work without pain!” ~ Mary Tucker, happy patient

We are proud of all the progress Ms. Tucker has made with her rehab! She originally came to Encore after a work-related accident resulted in a fracture of her arm. She has been an amazing example of how hard work and a strong commitment to a guided treatment plan can produce amazing results.

We will certainly miss having her around the clinic. She is headed back to live the independent life she deserves! We are delighted to have Ms. Tucker as Patient of the Month with Encore Rehabilitation-Brookley Field!

Ms. Tucker is shown here with Clinic Director and Occupational Therapist Luke Ostergaard.
