Laurie came to GVPT for rehabilitation on her left foot after a serious fall in 2009.

Laurie loves nature and missed out on an annual rock climbing trip last year. She wanted to make sure she could go this year, therefore she decided to seek help from GVPT. She also missed being able to cross-country ski.

Her experience at GVPT was very positive. She said that everyone is so friendly. She stated, "Physical therapy is hard and sometimes really painful, but it's easier to tolerate when you're in a friendly environment." Lindsay focused her treatment toward her goals of going on her rock climbing trip and she was very motivated and worked hard.

The most helpful thing Laurie learned from PT is how important it is to continue doing the stretches and strengthen exercises after being discharged. She definitely does not want to miss out on her favorite outdoor adventures again!
