Our athletic trainers and physical therapists worked together to help the Louisville Ballet School conduct its biannual pre-pointe screening. These screenings ensure dancers can safely handle the extreme demands of taking on their full body weight through the tips of their toes.

This functional testing is more accurate than age is for determining readiness because it evaluates technique and abilities.

Cancer diagnoses come with a lot of side effects. Martin Sher learned that lesson after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

As a retiree, Martin enjoyed traveling and gardening, but those hobbies had to be paused.

"I felt very weak and very tired," Martin said. "I also was afraid about my future, especially because I was going to have Whipple surgery to remove a cancerous tumor."

After surgery, which removed parts of his digestive system including the head of his pancreas, Martin went through eight weeks of physical therapy at our Floyds K***s center with ReVital Cancer Rehabilitation Physical Therapist Deborah Bruckman.

It helped him feel stronger and have a more positive outlook about his condition.

He remarked that his doctors felt pleased with his recovery because he was up and walking the day after his surgery. Martin credits his newfound energy to the hard work he put into physical therapy.

"Deborah Bruckman absolutely improved my endurance and strength," Martin shared. "She made me feel more confident about my health by closely working with me and helping me get stronger."

Martin has been able to return to gardening and driving once again!

Like many pickleball converts, Wayne West started out playing tennis. He played from age 9 through 65. “I stopped playing only because age made me lose a step,” he shared.

So, Wayne turned to the smaller, more manageable pickleball court. Now in his 70s, Wayne has competed in local, state and national pickleball tournaments, winning a gold medal at a world championship tournament in Dallas last year.

“It is a way to keep me young at heart and prove that, even at an advanced age, I can still perform at a high level,” he said.

Last July, pain in his right leg and knee started impacting Wayne's game. “After a 30-minute drive from pickleball practice to my home, I would need to slowly exit my car and hobble inside,” he said. “It was a big hindrance.”

Initially, Wayne did what many people do: he typed his symptoms into a search engine (which told him it might be an LCL issue). Luckily, he didn’t rely on that. He turned to us for proper diagnosis and relief. Our team evaluated Wayne’s knee and leg and discovered he had a tight Iliotibial (IT) band. They created a customized, stretching and strengthening routine to help.

At first, Wayne was skeptical about making a full recovery, but he kept at it and began to see changes. “The walk from the car to the house after practice, I was tired but no longer in pain. I felt like an athlete again.”

Wayne’s biggest goal was to prepare for the 2025 United States Senior Pickleball National tournament in Daytona Beach, and that’s what he did.

“Their kindness, skill and encouragement helped me fulfill that goal,” Wayne said. “My IT band is much better, so my movement on court and in all daily activities is much better. By the way, I won a silver medal and only missed capturing the gold medal by three points. Next year, next year.”

A wise person once said, “it’s not a race.” Probably a parent. And whoever said that was right. Pediatric milestones are here to help guide us, not rush us. But they can help determine whether a child may need additional support.

Our team partners with parents to help kids grow, learn and thrive. If you have questions about your child’s development, we’re here to help. Read our blog to learn more. Link in comments.
