We are proud to recognize Bruce Treece as our Patient of the Month! Following a Guillain-Barré Syndrome diagnosis in August, Bruce experienced a loss of all lower-extremity function. Through determination and the support of our skilled therapy team, Bruce has made remarkable progress.

Bruce worked diligently in Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy to regain movement, function, balance, strength and overall well-being.

Bruce shares:
“Physical therapy and Occupational Therapy has helped me become less dependent on cane usage and has helped increase my lower extremity function from no movement to partial movement as well as improved my well-being with positivity. I highly recommend Encore Rehabilitation – Haleyville. They do a great job!”

✨Our Occupational Therapists specializes in neurological rehabilitation, helping people regain independence after brain or nerve injury by improving physical and cognitive skills, modifying environments, and using specialized techniques for conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injuries. Therapy focuses on meaningful daily living while helping manage fatigue, memory, balance and movement challenges.

If you or a loved has suffered one of these life altering events please call us we would love to help! Our team can create an individualized plan to help you, call us today! At Encore we LOVE to see you move!
