Mr. Kimbrell is back to doing the things he LOVES after rehab with #EncoreRehab Winfield!

We are proud to have Harvey Kimbrell as our Encore Rehabilitation – Winfield Patient of the Month!

Mr. Kimbrell has shown remarkable progress following a recent total knee replacement. He is a dedicated and determined individual and has shown outstanding commitment to his recovery journey. As an older adult, the journey back to full mobility can present unique challenges but he has proven that age is no barrier to recovery!

Total knee replacement is a major procedure, especially for those later in life, but he approached it with a positive attitude and a commitment to working through the rehabilitation process. Mr. Kimbrell is now able to perform his daily activities with greater ease, from walking longer distances to climbing stairs, all while managing far less pain than before the surgery.

Mr. Kimbrell, we are honored to have you as our Patient of the Month and we have enjoyed helping you with your recovery journey!

~If you know someone that has an upcoming surgery in this new year, we would love to help them in their recovery process. At Encore, we LOVE to see you move!

Ms. Johnston is Patient of the Month for Encore Rehabilitation – Muscle Shoals

Meet Judith Johnston our Encore Rehabilitation – Muscle Shoals, Patient of the Month! 

Mrs. Johnston is a dedicated individual who successfully strengthened her rotator cuff, under the direction of her Physical Therapist Tanner Hawkins, and was able to avoid shoulder surgery! 

After experiencing persistent shoulder pain and limited mobility, Mrs. Johnston was faced with possibly undergoing surgery. However, through a commitment to physical therapy and rigorous strengthening regimen, she was able to regain strength, improve range of motion, and reduce her pain significantly.

Working closely with our Rehab Team, Mrs. Johnston followed a customized program that included targeted exercises, progressive resistance training, and mobility drills. 

Mrs. Johnston said, “Tanner Hawkins, PT, had a plan to strengthen the muscles around the rotator cuff to help me avoid surgery and I am so much stronger now and the results are incredible! I am so pleased! Tanner is kind and gentle and knows the exact exercises needed for each problem area you have and his skill level is amazing!” 

Mrs. Johnston, thank you for trusting us to to get you back on the road to recovery so you can get back to living your life to the fullest! We are so pleased to have you as our Encore Rehabilitation – Muscle Shoals Patient of the Month! 

Mrs. Johnston is shown here with Tanner Hawkins, Physical Therapist.

~If you or someone you know has a shoulder issue and has had surgery or is wanting to try to avoid surgery, please call and let us see if we can help! At Encore, we LOVE to see you move!

October is National Physical Therapy Month!

At Encore Rehabilitation, Inc., we’re excited to celebrate this special month with the theme “Fall Prevention: Building Stronger Steps for Safer Lives!” As we focus on safety at home, it’s important to share essential tips for preventing falls.

Home Safety Tips for Fall Prevention

1. Remove Clutter and Tripping Hazards: Keep floors clear of items like shoes, books, or loose cords, and arrange furniture to create wide pathways in high-traffic areas.

2. Install Grab Bars and Handrails: Place sturdy grab bars in bathrooms and handrails along stairs for extra support and stability in slippery areas.

3. Improve Lighting: Ensure all areas of the home, especially stairs and hallways, are well-lit. Use bright bulbs and install nightlights for easier navigation at night.

4. Secure Rugs and Use Non-Slip Mats: Use double-sided tape or non-slip backing to keep rugs in place, and place non-slip mats in wet areas to prevent slips.

5. Keep Essentials Within Reach: Store frequently used items within easy reach to avoid unsafe climbing or stretching.

6. Use Assistive Devices:Equip yourself with canes, walkers, or reachers to improve mobility and reduce the risk of falls. A physical therapist can recommend the right device for your needs.

At Encore Rehabilitation, we understand that home safety is just one aspect of maintaining your overall wellness. Physical Therapy can truly transform your life by helping you:

✅ Improve Balance

✅ Increase Strength

✅ Expand Range of Motion

✅ Boost Confidence

This National Physical Therapy Month, take the first step toward a healthier, safer life! Whether you’re recovering from an injury or looking to enhance your well-being, our team is here to support you every step of the way!

Christal Smith – Physical therapy Exercises Alleviate Pain

Christal Smith Photo ColumbianaRevised

“Before Physical Therapy, I had almost constant pain in my lower back, buttocks, and right leg. My leg would constantly go to sleep. The pain was caused from a herniated disk in my lower back that was pushing on the nerve. Physical Therapy taught me exercises to completely alleviate the pain and my leg no longer goes to sleep all the time. I would recommend Encore Rehab because the therapists are very knowledgeable and also very friendly. They make Physical Therapy fun!” ~ Christal Smith, patient

Charles Chuck Jensen Photo Columbiana Revised.jpg

“I came to Encore Rehabilitation-Columbiana for physical therapy. I wanted to walk, drive, and hike successfully in the coming days and years. I’ve regained some flexibility in my knee and leg so I can get in and out of the car more easily. I had a great experience and received lots of helpful attention. The clinic was convenient to my home and was recommended by friends. Now I recommend Encore because of my good experience and the excellent practical advice I received on how to continue exercise at home to be successful. “ ~ Chuck Jensen
