The future is bright! Encore Rehabilitation had the honor of having Hannah Cooper and Shaliyah Walker at our Dothan clinic last week. They are two students from Dothan Tech that have an interest in the field of physical rehabilitation.
While with us, the ladies viewed an evaluation, learned the differences between Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy and observed about rehab treatments with post-surgical patients.
Thank you, Dothan Tech, for giving us the opportunity to share our passion for our professions! We were delighted to have Hannah and Shaliyah with us!
Hannah and Shaliyah, please come visit us again soon! Rehabilitation is an excellent career choice. We wish you both the best!

We are pleased to select Chase Nolen as Patient of the Month for Encore Rehabilitation – Andalusia Physical Therapy!
He has made a remarkable recovery and we are proud to be a part of his rehab journey!
Here is Chase’s story as shared by his wife, Kelley. “Chase was born with a congenital heart condition. Doctors told his family that he would not survive, but God had other plans. In 2012, doctors implanted a pacemaker/defibrillator. Chase typically needs the pacing due his heart rate being slow. But on November 27th of last year, as he was helping set up tables and chairs at church, his heart went into a dangerously fast rhythm that caused him to pass out. Because he also takes blood thinner, the resulting fall led to a life-threatening brain bleed.
“Chase was life-flighted from Andalusia Health to UAB where he underwent emergency brain surgery. His healthcare team explained that he would die without the surgery, but that he could also die during surgery. Even if he survived, they wanted us to be prepared for the possibility that he would only be able to ‘sit in a chair and follow us around the room with his eyes’ for the rest of his life.
“But God had other plans again! The surgery went well, and he began to recover. He went from the neuro ICU to the cardiac unit and finally to Spain Rehabilitation. At first, just sitting up on the side of the bed was draining for him. Then he began standing up with the help of two therapists. Slowly, but surely, he got better and better. He was able to come home on January 6th.
“We were thrilled that he could continue with his Occupational and Physical Therapy so close to home at Encore! Continuity of care was critical for him to be able to regain lost skills. He has gone from relying on a walker (and for long distances a wheelchair) to walking completely on his own without any device. His stamina and endurance have also increased. We are grateful for each Encore staff member who has worked with him to help him achieve his goals.” ~Kelley Nolen, wife of Chase Nolen
We admire the resilience and determination that Chase demonstrates with his rehab and recovery. He is an inspiration to us and others. We wish Chase continued success!
