Every October, we celebrate Physical Therapy Month to raise awareness about the awesome benefits of physical therapy. Today, we’d like to highlight high-intensity gait training, an evidence-based approach Madonna’s PT staff are using with patients to improve or restore their ability to walk. One Madonna patient called HIGT, “fertilizer to your brain.” Learn more here. #physicaltherapymonth
Former Lincoln pastor, Bill Peterson finds respite and comfort in the quiet of the chapel at Madonna's Lincoln Campus. During his recovery journey Bill tapped into the power of faith, music and positivity by wearing a red nose during therapy sessions in an effort to remain upbeat and make those around him smile.
Rob Meader is a 2017 Goal Award winner. We caught up with him six years after suffering a major stroke and Rob continues to be independent and credits Madonna's Lincoln Campus for the gift of time. The time he uses to teach others about the sport of archery he loves the most.
Jamie Richards is a young nurse who never imagined she would suffer a stroke. Relearning how to walk, prepare food and care for her family motivated the young woman in her recovery and she credits the experience for making her a better nurse, mother and advocate for other stroke patients.
