Rick Hoadley – Returning to Taekwondo

Rick Hoadley has returned to his active lifestyle after his knee replacement and physical therapy with Encore Rehabilitation-Tillman's Corner

Rick Hoadley loves to be active: cycling, walking, martial arts! So when he suffered a shoulder injury and had to have a knee replacement, it was important to him to become active again.

Rick chose Encore Rehabilitation-Tillman’s Corner to be his rehab provider. He says, “Encore Rehab has an excellent staff. They use a scientific and methodical approach to therapy, one that is very gradual and encouraging and also gets results.” Rick has regained use of his knee and can do all the things he missed! He is back to being active and has returned to taekwondo training again.

Congratulations, Rick, from all your friends at Encore Rehabilitation-Tillman’s Corner!

Factors that affect Balance

Vestibular What flier[1]

As we celebrate Day 2 of Balance Awareness Week, we want to highlight some of the factors that can affect your balance.

First, your brain must process the sensory information it receives from your body. If you have dealt with a neurological such as a stroke, concussion, or Parkinson’s disease, your ability to process the information may be impaired. The brain receives this information from visual input (what you are seeing), somatosensory input (what you are feeling and sensing in your environemt), and vestibular input (motion, equilibrium and spatial orientation).

On this poster, we have provided you with more information on what the vestibular system does.

 

At Ocean Springs Neurological Vestibular Rehabilitation, we have two clinically certified vestibular therapists who would love to get you moving again!
Call or come by our offices for more information!
