Rehab after falling 70 feet – Mr. Thompson recovers at Encore Rehabilitation-Brookley Field

“On May 13, 2025, I fell approximately 70 feet from a container ship and suffered multiple broken bones. I know God was with me that day.

‘The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord…though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.’ Psalm 37:23–24

The pain was intense, and the recovery process was not easy, but Mr. Luke and his team helped me through every step of the journey. They worked hard with me, and now I am back up and moving again. They did a tremendous job, and I truly appreciate everything they have done for me.

Never give up. When you have the Lord on your side, you have the strength to keep going. Thank you, Mr. Luke, Mr. Simon, and Ms. Jessica, for giving me the tools and encouragement I needed to keep improving every day.” ~ Mr. Marque Thompson, happy patient

Mr. Thompson’s recovery journey is a remarkable example of faith, perseverance, and determination!

After sustaining multiple serious injuries in a fall from a container ship, he remained committed to therapy and worked diligently toward regaining his strength and mobility.

We are incredibly proud of Mr. Thompson’s progress and grateful that he trusted the Encore Rehabilitation–Brookley Field team to support him throughout his recovery!

Congratulations, Mr. Thompson, on all that you have accomplished!

Diane Van Loan is Patient of the Month for Encore Rehabilitation-Pelham!

“I had two falls. My legs and ankles were weak. My doctor referred me to Encore Rehabilitation-Pelham to help build and strengthen my bones and muscles. I received a wide variety of strength training and balance exercises. The Physical Therapy helped immensely! Each time I came, I was able to do a little more than the time before. There were many different exercises so it was never boring or monotonous. I always looked forward to coming to rehab.

“Encore was very spacious and comfortable. All of the Therapists that I worked with (Suzanne, Abbie, Sydnie, and Taylor) were extremely knowledgeable and personable. They are now my friends.
