Joanna Miller experienced a knee injury that limited her daily activities. Her diagnosis: patellar femoral syndrome.

"I felt very frustrated as it was challenging to move around, walk or stand for long periods of time," she said.

Under the guidance of Physical Therapist Michael Vile at NovaCare Rehabilitation at Forked River, Joanna embraced progressively challenging exercises, pushing her toward her recovery and preparing for her return to the gym.

By the end of five months, Joanna successfully achieved her primary goals. Michael’s challenging exercises restored her confidence in movement and strength. One of her most exciting wins: Getting back to long walks with her dog!

James “Jimbo” Zagunis has been a season ticket holder for his favorite football team in Michigan for many years. But it was hard to get to games when he kept battling infected hardware from a knee replacement.

After consulting with his doctors, Jimbo eventually opted for an above-the-knee amputation in 2021. He met with a NovaCare Prosthetics & Orthotics clinician at his home before his amputation to better understand what to expect on his limb-loss journey. He then continued in our care through his first fitting and adjustments.

Recently, Jimbo and his care team decided he would need a more advanced prosthesis. Certified Prosthetist and Orthotist specialists Jake Montoya and Katy Schatzberg helped set up Jimbo with a microprocessor knee with a powered extension assist to help alleviate some of his joint pain. He chose the specialty socket design featuring his favorite team.

Jimbo tried it in our center, taking confident strides before giving it a go at home. Now he’s able to spend more quality time with his wife, children and grandchildren, volunteer with his local chapter of the Knights of Columbus, and, of course, enjoy his fandom in-person next season.

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.”
