Team Rehabilitation

Today marks 9 weeks post op from my bilateral (double) knee
that I had on 10−13−14.
I have to really commend & thank this place!
The care-​knowledge-​techniques & insight of the 11 staff members is beyond impressive.
Let me rewind for a mere moment. Dr told me a potential 8 – 12 weeks recovery to return to work & a life of normalcy, but every patient & circumstance is different & unique.
The center director Heather C. did my initial intake & evaluation, measuring range of motion, and anticipated «Plan of Action», plus she likes to keep her patients with 1 – 2 Physical Therapists, so they can be abreast & on top of what each is doing, so she placed me with Claudine Kelly 23 years of training & superior knowledge, and Heather also put herself on my case.
Ive attended TR 3 times a week for 2 hours per visit since 10−22−14.
They initially worked with in my limited range of motion & stamina, but as the healing improved, so did the exercises & treatments, and adding to my treatments were 4 – 5 physical therapy techs, who guided+ taught the exercise & kept a journal .
Let me walk you thru one of my visits.
1.
30 – 45 minutes of exercise on the parallel bars, total gym, bands, trx, steps & the octane
(octane is virtually a sit down elliptical)
2.
A true & intense treatment using a variety of techniques by the Physical Therapist to get a constantly improving range of motion
flexibility
loosen scar tissue
make sure the knee keeps are fluid & moving
monitoring & loosening hamstrings, back & calves.
through massage-​manipulation-​stretches & the like.
All the while as the PT discusses work & life situations, progress & any limitations or triggers.
3.
Ice — Heat & IFC stimulation 13 – 16 minutes
they hook up a series of electrodes to both sides of both knees
then covering both knees in ice packs/​towels
And also placing a 25 inch heating pad on-​around-​near the tailbone -& sciatic nerve area
(little post surgery pain]
Most of my visits lasted 90 minutes to 2 hours.
Through an excellent knowledgeable surgeon
Caring-​praying family & friends
GREAT PT
And the grace of GOD
I’m way ahead of schedule, returned to work 11−20−14, approx. 5 weeks earlier than planned.
My health & healing has been a walking advertisement as, two other friends have seen the proof in the pudding & also started at this team rehab with in the last 30 days.

I have worked with at least 10 Team Rehab physical therapists through my journey and have been to 4 different locations. Each of these therapists are very knowledgeable and I have not one bad thing to say about any of them. Some of the people I worked with were only for a day or two but Team Rehab’s therapists seem to be held to a very high standard and are very professional. They have a very well maintained atmosphere to rehabilitate the worst injuries. They are kind and respectful to all of their patients and they accommodate just about any situation.
