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!

Ms. Murrill is Patient of the Month for Encore Rehabilitation-Orange Beach

We’re proud to recognize Michelle Murrill as our Patient of the Month at Encore Rehabilitation – Orange Beach! Following a right total knee replacement, Ms. Murrill has made incredible progress in regaining her mobility and strength. Her hard work and positive attitude have been an inspiration to our team!

She says, “I started 3 days a week and as I got stronger, it dropped to 2 days a week. Physical Therapy helped me to be able to bend my knee just as good as before surgery. I chose Encore because it was close to my house. I recommend Encore because the people are outstanding—so nice, and they always make sure you are doing everything correctly. And they are really good people.”

Congratulations, Ms. Murrill, and thank you for trusting us with your care! We LOVE to see you move!
