New Patient Story

Before returning to work I had to have surgery on my right rotator cuff to unlock my muscles that were locked in place. Prior to the surgery I had broken my right hand(thumb). Pre surgery my orthopedist prescribed me I had to drink 3 high protein high calorie, high carb shakes to start the healing process before the surgery began, and on the day of surgery I had to drink 4 High carb shakes, and 3 high protein shakes. I had gained so much weight from them and also the reduced exercise. Right after surgery Physical therapy begins, Now I am a personal trainer, and CNA 2 (certified nursing assistant). I created my own physical therapy program, which jump started the recovery process faster than my therapist anticipated. I almost have full use of my right shoulder, 88 percent of usage has returned I can now articulate my right hand and actually wash my lower back, total weight loss of 20 pounds, due to being able to exercise again and I am starting to work full time again at providence health in Medford Oregon.
