Center For Physical Health

As often happens in life, an unexpected event changes the course of one's path. I was a university student majoring in chemistry, when the summer before my senior year I was in a major trauma. I sustained fractures of the hip, pelvis, ribs, elbow and vertebrae and a collapsed lung and spent two months in the hospital. My 1st experience with physical therapy came as a result of this drastic and overwhelming change to my expected life path. The kind, skillful care and supportive guidance of the physical therapists got me through the difficulty of learning to walk again the embarrassment of having to stand in the back of the classroom because it was too painful to sit and the challenge of redefining my body and myself.
