Line Dancing fun with Encore Rehabilitation-Enterprise

Student Physical Therapist Assistant Shiv Patel joined Holiday Rigdon, LPTA, and fellow line dancers from The Lower Alabama Kickers to bring a Halloween program to the residents and staff of Enterprise Health and Rehabilitation!

The visit was a fun way to connect with the community. Shiv also heard from some of the dancers about how physical therapy has made a difference in their lives—and he was a good sport, even learning a dance himself! Way to go, Shiv!

We love seeing our Rehab Team members build connections in the communities they serve!

Meet Corey Richardson, PTA, with Encore Rehabilitation-Grenada

Meet Corey Richardson, Physical Therapist Assistant at Encore Rehabilitation-Grenada!

Corey is a native of Eupora, Mississippi, and graduated from Eupora High School before attending the Physical Therapist Assistant program at Holmes Community College in Grenada. His connection to Encore actually began before graduation—Corey completed his second clinical rotation at Encore Rehabilitation-Grenada during his final semester of PTA school!

He is now quickly approaching his one-year anniversary with our Grenada Rehab Team!

“One of my favorite parts of being a therapist is witnessing a patient’s breakthrough and reaching their recovery milestone,” shares Corey.

Outside of work, Corey enjoys Alabama football, playing golf, and spending time with his wife, Julia, and his family.

And since football season is here, Corey and his family have a special message for the Grenada High School Chargers: Good luck in your first home game tonight against the Cleveland Central Wolves! Kickoff is at 7:00 at Charger Stadium!
