Encore Rehab.

Stroke recovery success with Encore Rehabilitation-Andalusia

“I had a stroke in March. I spent the first week doing a week of intensive inpatient treatment and then I began intensive outpatient treatment to regain strength, mobility, balance and coordination, and gain as much independence as possible.

“The Rehab Team loves to challenge me with new, fun exercises that are both exciting to do and get me closer to my goals! When they see that exercises aren’t challenging enough anymore or getting too easy, they change them up so that I keep progressing to reach each goal. The challenges and struggles are so rewarding because they are getting me exactly where I need to be to overcome my stroke.

“I chose Encore because I’ve known these therapists for years since I worked as a nurse (RN) at the hospital (Andalusia Health). They love to cheer me on every single step of the way and celebrate every baby step with me.

“I would recommend Encore because they cheer me on every single step of the way and celebrate every little milestone and victory with me. They clap for me and as patients, we all clap for each other.” ~Heidi Martin, happy patient

Happy at Encore Rehabilitation-Athens, Ms. Ludwig is Patient of the Month!

“I first started at Encore Rehabilitation-Athens when my doctor referred me for lymphedema care. Encore has Therapists who are trained to provide lymphedema treatment. I had a great experience at Encore! Then, I fell almost three years ago and hurt my neck. A few months ago, my doctor prescribed Physical Therapy and I asked to go back to Encore since my previous experience was great. Neck rehab has been very good. It has helped so much with decreasing my pain! 

“I would recommend Encore because they are caring and very helpful in getting you back on your feet.” ~ Sharon Ludwig, happy patient

 We are proud of your rehab success, Ms. Ludwig, and happy to have you as our Patient of the Month at Encore Rehabilitation-Athens! We wish you continued good health and great happiness! Thank you for choosing Encore!

Jumping again after rehab at Encore Rehabilitation-Andalusia

“Vivian wasn’t able to walk after wearing a hip-to-toe cast for 6 weeks and lost all muscle strength in her left leg. Physical Therapy and Therapist Ms. Riley helped her by building her muscle strength and confidence. Vivian’s dad had used Encore and we knew Encore was the right fit. The Rehab Team were kind, patient, and very encouraging.”

Vivian began her therapy journey with Encore after fracturing her femur while jumping on her trampoline. Her strength, courage, and progress have been truly inspiring!

Join us in celebrating Vivian as our Patient of the Month at Encore Rehabilitation – Andalusia!

We’re honored to be a part of Vivian’s recovery and proud to support her every step of the way!

Running and lifting weights again after rehab with Encore Rehabilitation-Columbia

“Physical Therapy has helped me regain strength and mobility of my leg. It has also helped me to bend and straighten my knee. Rehab has gotten me back on the path of running and lifting weights. I asked my surgeon which facility he preferred, and he said Encore Rehabilitation in Columbia, MS. This is where he’s gotten his best results with his patients. The Rehab Team is wonderful! They have a passion for their patients and have remarkable knowledge about their profession.” ~Queene Cooper, happy patient
