Janice Franks is Patient of the Month for Encore Rehabilitation-Haleyville

“I was dragging my foot which was making me fall and I was very weak. They helped me with my balance and strength and now I am able to get out of chairs without assistance. I can do things with for myself without fear of falling. Encore does a thorough job of making sure you get the most out of your therapy at each treatment session and patient safety is also very important!” (Janice Franks, happy patient)

We are proud to recognize Ms. Franks as our Encore Rehabilitation – Haleyville Patient of the Month! She made incredible strides overcoming balance and weakness of her lower leg.

Ms. Franks had been struggling with daily task of walking and getting out of chairs from a seated position. Like many patients with balance issues, her fear of falling was a constant concern. Her balance difficulties, combined with muscle weakness, made even the smallest activities feel overwhelming.

An individualized treatment plan was developed to help her regain independence, improve strength, and enhance balance. The plan consisted of strengthening exercises, balance training, gait training and functional movement exercises. 

Thank you, Ms. Franks, for choosing Encore Rehabilitation – Haleyville to provide the Physical Therapy care that you needed! We are so proud of the progress you have made and we wish you continued success. 

~If you or someone you know is struggling with weakness and balance issues, please call us! We are here and ready to help you gain your independence back! 

At Encore, we LOVE to see you move!
