“Before I was alive but not living. . . Thank you, Encore Rehabilitation-Hartselle!”

❓Why did Ms. Flowers say, “Before I was alive but not living“?

“I had a TIA in October and couldn’t talk well (aphasia). I had memory issues, thought process difficulties and difficulty walking. I had prior hip surgery which had never healed well and for which I had never had Physical Therapy. I decided to use Encore Rehabilitation-Hartselle for my rehab after the TIA.

“The staff have been remarkable! I had difficulty with the smallest tasks. Dakota, the Speech Therapist, helped me manage my mail, get out of the house with everything I needed, memory aids, and speaking without the frustration and tears that accompanied it. Physical Therapy has helped me walk without a limp. I’ve taken my grandchildren to the park and my dogs to the pet store. I’ve been able to go out on my own to church and lunch. These types of activities were mountains before therapy!

“I didn’t think I would ever be able to do what I’m doing!

“I’m blessed to have had this great group. Cheerful, pleasant, and accommodating, they have most importantly given me hope for an active life. Before I was alive but not living. Thank you, Encore!

“I won’t list all the names because I may miss someone, but I cannot say enough good things about this group! Thank you again, Encore!”~ Melissa Flowers, living again 🙂

Ms. Flowers, it has been a privilege to be a part of your wellness journey. You have made remarkable progress and we are proud to have you as our Patient of the Month! Thank you for choosing Encore!

We wish you all the best!
