Joel Dixon is Running Again with Encore Rehabilitation-Columbiana

Joel Dixon is Running Again after Dry Needling Services with #EncoreRehab Columbiana

“I was having repeated issues with my right calf seizing, at times after a short run, sometimes when walking only a short distance. After several dry needling sessions, my calf is back to normal! I’ve run on very hilly terrains and have run fast without complications. I’d highly recommend dry needling and Encore Rehabilitation-Columbiana. Encore is very quick, thorough, and provides compassionate care.” ~Joel Dixon, patient.

Thank you, Mr. Dixon, for choosing Encore Rehabilitation-Columbiana! We are very happy that you are running again!

We LOVE to see you move! If Physical Therapy is in your future, give us a call! We are ready to help you!

Encore Rehabilitation-Dothan is proud to give a shoutout to our very own Physical Therapist Bonnie Yesian on the completion of her 13th Boston Marathon Run! Way to go, Bonnie!

“I’ve been running since 1994 and started training for my first marathon in 2000. Since then I’ve completed 25 marathons along with numerous half marathons and shorter distance runs. I have now completed 13 Boston Marathons. Other races have included the New York Marathon; Chicago Marathon; California International Marathon (Sacramento); St. George Marathon; Houston Marathon; and Austin Marathon. I obviously like the sport but even more than that, I’ve loved all the extra benefits and unexpected life lessons running has taught me over the years. I’ve met the most amazing people and lifelong friends through running. I hope to continue as long as the good Lord allows me to run!” ~ Bonnie Yesian, PT

Alabama State University – Benjamin Lee Knight Memorial 5K

Benjamin Lee Knight

Saturday, October 21, 2017 marked the inaugural run for the Alabama State University Annual Benjamin Lee Knight Memorial 5K. It was a fantastic fall day to remember Ben, a recent physical therapist graduate from Alabama State (ASU). He passed away June 4, 2017 while hiking in the mountains of Arizona. His fellow students have organized this annual 5K to honor him and his legacy. Ben was known as a selfless servant, a defender of the broken and widowed, and a tender-hearted man who lived life to the fullest by deeply loving those around him.

Encore Rehabilitation is proud to partner with ASU to sponsor this event. Over 100 runners registered for this year’s run. Monies from the event go to local charities and organizations. Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s run.
