David Lowery is Patient of the Month for Encore Rehabilitation-Fayette

Join us in celebrating David Lowery, our Patient of the Month at Encore Rehabilitation – Fayette!

Mr. Lowery came to us experiencing significant pain in the bottom of his foot, later diagnosed as Plantar Fasciitis. The discomfort had progressed to the point where even walking became a challenge. Determined to get back on his feet, he began physical therapy with a focus on reducing pain while improving strength and flexibility.

After hearing a recommendation from a friend who had a great experience with us, Mr. Lowery chose Encore Rehabilitation – Fayette for his care—and we’re so glad he did! He shared that our team was “super helpful, nice, and made it very enjoyable to come to physical therapy,” which is exactly the environment we strive to create for every patient!

It has truly been a joy working with Mr. Lowery and watching his progress. His dedication and positive attitude have made a big difference in his recovery, and we are so thankful to be part of his journey as he continues to get better every day!

Mr. Lowery is pictured with Tanner Hawkins, Clinical Director and Physical Therapist.
