Rich Stratton came to our NovaCare Rehabilitation center in Bayville, New Jersey, after undergoing a total shoulder replacement due to advanced arthritis.

Early in his recovery, postoperative precautions limited how much he could lift, reach or move his right arm. Over time, and with a carefully progressed treatment plan, Rich regained the strength and mobility he had lost long before surgery.

Under the guidance of Physical Therapist Stephanie Vadino, his program included guided, range-of-motion exercises, manual therapy to reduce stiffness, scapular and rotator-cuff strengthening, postural training and functional activities designed to safely restore overhead movement.

As his shoulder healed, we introduced progressive resistance work and task-specific exercises to help him return to everyday activities.

Rich can lift weights, reach overhead and enjoy an active lifestyle, things he was unable to do prior to surgery. Today, he’s moving confidently and making the most of his retirement, and we’re proud to have supported him every step of the way.

After a life-changing cancer diagnosis, Chris Wellman faced a long and difficult road to recovery. Surgeons removed nearly three-quarters of his esophagus along with surrounding lymph nodes.

Following six days in the hospital and two months relying on a feeding tube, Chris lost more than 40 pounds and much of his strength. Once an avid golfer and active contractor, he found himself weak, uncertain and unable to do many of the things he loved.

When Chris began our ReVital Cancer Rehabilitation program at our NovaCare Rehabilitation in Partnership with AtlantiCare center in Northfield, New Jersey, he described himself as “a shell” of who he once was. But with the help of our physical therapists, that changed.

Together, they focused on building endurance, regaining strength and restoring confidence, with a clear goal in mind: getting back on the golf course.

“About four weeks in, I started to feel like, ‘I got this,’” Chris said.

Today, Chris continues to rebuild his strength and has returned to hitting golf balls at the driving range, a milestone he once thought was far away.

“I have not reached my goals yet, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel,” Chris said.

When 80-year-old Dorwin “Tom” Cook was preparing for double knee replacement surgery, he came to NovaCare Rehabilitation in the Philadelphia - Mayfair center for our prehabilitation program.

Prehabilitation helps patients strengthen muscles, improve range of motion and prepare for recovery after surgery. In some cases, prehab can even help a patient avoid surgery altogether.

Under the expert guidance of Physical Therapist Hans Stolle, Tom made remarkable progress and began feeling so good that he decided to cancel his surgery.

Eight months later, he’s thriving in our aftercare fitness program and recently set a personal record of 185 pounds on a deadlift.

Physical therapy can help patients move better, feel stronger and sometimes, rewrite their recovery plans entirely.
