Remarkable Recovery after horse riding accident ~~Encore Rehabilitation-West Mobile

First it was the little things, like being able to stand and walk, then . . .

Meet Brittany First! 

Brittany is a professional Equestrian, a Large Animal Veterinarian who specializes in acupuncture, chiropractic and rehab, a loving mom, and wife. 

She came to Encore for Physical Therapy after falling off of her horse and shattering her right hip.  At the time of her accident, her son was only 8 weeks old.  

Brittany came to us in a wheelchair and non-weight-bearing on her left leg.  She was unable to hold/care for her child, unable to work and unable to participate in any of her usual day-to-day tasks.  She couldn’t even fully dress herself without help.  

Brittany has worked SOOOO Hard to get her life back.  First it was the little things, like being able to stand and walk, then it was to being able to dress and bathe without help.  

Next, she worked diligently to walk longer distances, squat, kneel, lunge and get back to caring for her household and all of her animals.  Then finally she was able to start working again and now has she returned to handling the LARGER horses, performing all of her prior higher level job demand tasks and is able to initiate jogging!

Brittany has truly gotten her life back with 110% effort ALL THE WAY!!!  Welcome back to work, chores, hobbies and loving life, Brittany!  We have loved working with you! We wish you continued good health and success! 

We are honored to select Brittany First as Patient of the Month for Encore Rehabilitation-West Mobile!

McKenna leaves the wheelchair behind at Encore Rehabilitation-Andalusia

“In June, McKenna was injured in an ATV accident. She sustained a mid-distal femoral shaft fracture. She had immediate surgery and then spent 7 weeks in a full leg cast with mobility being very limited with the aid of a wheelchair.

“At the beginning of August, the doctors were satisfied with the progression of her fracture healing and released her to light activity and to start Physical Therapy. When she started rehab, she had very limited mobility of her leg. She was reluctant to use her leg or bear any weight on it. She depended heavily on her wheelchair.

“Thanks to the help of Encore Rehabilitation-Andalusia and all of the amazing Rehab Team, McKenna has left the wheelchair behind and is back to walking without any aids!

“She has improved so much in the last two months and really has regained a great portion of the use and mobility of her leg back. With her hard work and perseverance, and the support of the Rehab Team, we know she will be back to 100% soon and enjoying all of the activities she loves! I highly recommend Encore!” ~Heather Barton, happy parent

We are very proud of the progress McKenna has made. She is a very courageous young lady! We are delighted to select McKenna has our Patient of the Month at Encore Rehabilitation-Andalusia! Keep going, McKenna!

McKenna is shown here with Physical Therapist Assistant Riley Blackstone.
