Terry Dunham had a KNEE REPLACEMENT on 3/22/23 with his surgery performed by Dr. Balts. Terry CHOSE DUNAMIS THERAPY & FITNESS for his PHYSICAL THERAPY following surgery. Once he was done with PT, he continued his recovery independently in our FITNESS CENTER. I talked to Terry this morning about his progress, and he had only good news to report. According to Terry, “I can now chase after my 5 grandkids and golf, something I couldn’t do before having my knee replaced”. Terry continues to exercise “3-4 days / week” at DUNAMIS in Chetek.

Congratulations, Terry, and keep up the good work in Arizona!
