Darrell Kimbrell – Learning to Walk Again!

Darrell Kimbrell learns to walk again with the help of Encore Rehabilitation-Fayette #EncoreRehab

I chose Encore Rehabilitation because they were more equipped for my needs,” shares Darrell Kimbrell of Berry, Alabama. “Spine and back surgery caused me to lose the ability to walk due to loosing all the feeling in my left leg. I am thankful to the ladies of Encore and their help because I am now able to walk with the assistance of a walker. I hope to be back to my normal activities before I am done.

Congratulations to Darrell! He has been selected as Patient of the Month for Encore Rehabilitation-Fayette

What is the McKenzie Method?

According to the McKenzie Institute International, “the McKenzie Method® of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy® (MDT) is an internationally acclaimed method of assessment and treatment for spinal and extremity pain developed by New Zealand Physiotherapist Robin McKenzie. It has been widely used all over the world for more than 30 years. MDT clinicians are trained to assess and diagnose all areas of the musculoskeletal system. That means that if a problem exists in or around the spine, joint or muscle, an MDT evaluation may be appropriate. MDT is a philosophy of active patient involvement and education that is trusted and used by clinicians and patients all over the world for back, neck and extremity problems. This approach continues to be one of the most researched physical therapy based methods available.”

Congratulations to the Ocean Springs Spine and Orthopedic Clinic Patient of the Month, Kathy Slaten! Kathy is a native of Ocean Springs, MS and has been receiving physical therapy at our clinic on her lower back. Before physical therapy, Kathy wasn’t able to live the active lifestyle she was used to, and couldn’t perform household duties such as cooking, laundry, or cleaning. One of Kathy’s friends came along side her and recommended she try physical therapy under our DPT, Valerie Sullivan. Kathy has now been with us for 4 weeks and says her back is stronger, has increased mobility, and says she is almost pain free!

“I was ignorant of what physical therapy could do for me, but I am certainly a believer now and would recommend Encore to anyone! I could not be more impressed!”
