Rick Savage, the bassist from Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band Def Leppard, required care from our physical therapy team before a recent show.

Sean Bigard began physical therapy because he was unable to pick up groceries, carry his daughter or hug his loved ones without discomfort. With the help of our clinical team, Sean can now embrace the joys of his life without pain or weakness. In a letter to our team, his daughter, Alice, wrote, "Thank you for helping my dad; now he can pick me up." Sean captured his experience by saying, "I think physical therapy is a lifesaver!" Even though it usually takes Sean time to warm up to people and environments due to his spectrum disorder, he found it easy to establish rapport with the team. He plans to use physical therapy to help him maintain and improve his overall fitness levels. We look forward to continuing to support you, Sean.

Giselle Wiitanen plays varsity volleyball, basketball and track at her high school. During basketball season, she tore her meniscus which resulted in surgery. Her injury caused Giselle to miss her senior year of playing volleyball. "It has impacted me not only physically but emotionally. Having to sit there and watch what I've worked very hard for go by when there was nothing I could do was one of the worst things I've ever done." A few days after surgery, Giselle started physical therapy at our center with Physical Therapist Lauren Caldwell and Physical Therapist Assistant Lyndsay Wingle. "We are now in basketball season and I'm excited to play my last season with the girls I have played with since third grade." We are thrilled to have helped Giselle return to sports. Thank you for choosing NovaCare Rehabilitation and good luck with your upcoming basketball season, Giselle!
