Encore Rehabilitation-Opelika

Thank you to John Lyle, a third-year Doctor of Physical Therapy student at Samford University for his commitment to patient care while on an 8-week rotation at Encore Rehabilitation-Opelika this fall!

Originally from Auburn, Alabama, John earned his bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Auburn University, where he developed a strong foundation in human movement, performance, and rehabilitation.

Before attending Auburn, he played two years of junior college baseball at Chattahoochee Valley College, an experience that strengthened his understanding of teamwork, discipline, and sports-related injury prevention.

John’s strengths include his ability to build strong rapport with patients, remain calm and composed in dynamic clinical settings, and adapt quickly to changing situations.

He is passionate about helping individuals restore function and improve their quality of life through evidence-based, patient-centered care.

We wish John all the best as he completes his Doctorate in Physical Therapy!

At Encore Rehabilitation, we’re proud to be leading the way in Industrial Rehab and Workers’ Comp Rehab!

Our dedicated team of experts serves industries across the Alabama and Mississippi with injury prevention, recovery, and workplace health programs.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be introducing you to the professionals behind our Industrial Rehab Team — the people who make Encore Rehabilitation a trusted leader in helping employees recover and thrive!

We see success stories like Mary Tucker’s every day. Shown here with Occupational Therapist and Clinic Director Luke Ostergaard, Ms. Tucker came to us after a work-related arm fracture. Through hard work and skilled therapy, she regained strength and returned to work pain-free.

“When I first started Occupational Therapy, I was in severe pain. Then I learned exercises that helped me get my wrist and hand moving again. I would recommend Encore to anyone who needs rehab! I really appreciate the care I was given at Encore. I am now able to get back to work without pain!” – Mary Tucker, happy patient

We’re proud of Mary’s commitment and of the care our team provides every day to help employees recover and thrive!
