Janice: Recovering Step by Step

After experiencing illness, and recently battling a brain bleed, Janice experienced difficulties with mobility.

Upon arrival, Janice indicated that she was ready to work. This work would improve her quality of life significantly. Janice originally required two people to assist her to get out of bed, and needed family assistance to carry her to use the stairs, as she had become wheelchair bound.

After Occupational and Physical therapy with Powerback, Janice can now:

• Get in and out of bed using assistance from only one person at a time
• Walk with a mobility aid–more than 20 feet
• Carry herself up and down stairs

Janice's sheer determination and grit throughout her therapy sessions with Powerback helped her regain an improved quality of life at home.
