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!

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
