I had a serious car accident in which a food delivery service driver disregarded a stop sign and failed to look both ways hence pulled out in front of me at the last minute resulting in a head on collision breaking my hip, femur, and neck. After the doctors screwed me back together with thirteen screws and the associated plates, ATI worked with me to get me back to my previous mobility.
After basically being on my back for three months and immobile, using a walker and only one leg to "hop" to the bathroom, I needed to regain muscular strength. I came here three times a week usually, sometimes only twice a week, for five months. The staff kept increasing the difficulty of the exercises or added weights until I improved from my initial 50-60 percent mobility to 80% within the first six weeks to eventually 90% of my pre-accident mobility and strength.
All of the staff were supportive, super friendly and extremely accommodating with my constant tweaking of appointment times to fit my busy schedule which included multiple doctor appointments, dental appointments and picking up my granddaughter from school every day.
I learned many exercises that I will be able to utilize long after I finish with physical therapy. It seems like I have always had a stiff neck off and on, probably from being a side sleeper, long before my accident. Some simple neck and shoulder exercises they showed me will be of great benefit from now on. read more
