Diane Van Loan is Patient of the Month for Encore Rehabilitation-Pelham!

“I had two falls. My legs and ankles were weak. My doctor referred me to Encore Rehabilitation-Pelham to help build and strengthen my bones and muscles. I received a wide variety of strength training and balance exercises. The Physical Therapy helped immensely! Each time I came, I was able to do a little more than the time before. There were many different exercises so it was never boring or monotonous. I always looked forward to coming to rehab.

“Encore was very spacious and comfortable. All of the Therapists that I worked with (Suzanne, Abbie, Sydnie, and Taylor) were extremely knowledgeable and personable. They are now my friends.

“I would recommend Encore for Physical Therapy!”~ Diane Van Loan, happy patient

We are so proud of Ms. Diane and the wonderful progress she made! We are glad to have her as our Patient of the Month for Encore Rehabilitation-Pelham! She is pictured here with Clinic Director Suzanne Jarvis, Physical Therapist.
