“Physical therapists can work with your child, family, and educational team to help your child:
“A physical therapist will conduct a thorough evaluation of your child that will typically include a health and developmental history and assessment of:
“Your physical therapist will work with you to develop goals to help your child participate as fully as possible in daily routines at home, in the community, and at school. Your physical therapist will then develop a comprehensive plan to meet your child’s, and your whole family’s needs. No “standard” treatment exists for children with ASD (Austism Spectrum Disorder). Each child’s challenges and goals are different. Your physical therapist will design an individual program to meet the strengths and needs of your child. The therapist will work with you to monitor how your child progresses, and collect data to make sure that the treatment plan is leading to positive outcomes for your child.”**

Knee Pain Relief without Surgery! One person’s story

Demetria says, “My doctor told me I had some wear in my knee that therapy would be best for me, that if it was not enough, there was nothing else to be done but surgery. Since being at Encore Rehabilitation-Columbiana, Mrs. Suzanne Jarvis has really helped me reach my goal of bending my knee pain free. She has been a great therapist and I feel like I have benefited totally from where I was in the beginning. I went from not being able to bend at all in my left knee to bending 120-125 degrees.
“I choose Encore because I was recommended by my doctor because Encore is close to my home. I thank him for the recommendation and I thank Mrs. Jarvis for working with me. She has a great way of working with people and doesn’t push you to do anything that will cause you any type of further injury. Thank you to Brian as well for always helping out with suggestions. Thank you again, Mrs. Jarvis, for taking the time to help me heal in such a short time.“

Encore-Uhler Sports Medicine Symposium 2018-Orange Beach, Alabama

A few participants in the Cullman MS Swim event: Bo Shirey, Robyn Crawford, and Ruth Ann Knight.
I love to swim and I was looking to do a swim-a-thon as a fundraiser. I decided to do one for MS (Multiple Sclerosis) because my mother, Judy Shirey, was diagnosed over 20 years ago. I contacted her MS doctor, Chris Laganke, MD, and I was referred to the local National MS Society chapter in Alabama.
For the MS Swim event, all the proceeds raised would be donated to the local Alabama chapter to help raise awareness and find a cure for MS.
The Cullman Wellness and Aquatic Center gave me permission to use their facilities to host our event. The event took place the entire month of January. We had just over 20 swimmers to participate. Our goal was to swim over 500 miles (18,000 laps) in the month of January. We reached our goal just few days late but we had a couple of snow days and several of our swimmers had the flu. We raised almost $4,000 for MS.
The next MS Swim event is scheduled for September 2019. We welcome others to participate and donate.
