📢 INSPIRATION ALERT ➡️ Meet Richard, who turned a frustrating injury into his proudest comeback yet. 🏃

After injuring his ankle while running, Richard faced weeks of pain and uncertainty—until Dr. Tuvi Mendel stepped in and repaired two tendons to get him back on track.

Once surgery was complete, the real work began. With dedicated rehab at Plaza Physical Therapy, Richard rebuilt his strength, mobility, and confidence step by step.

The result? Richard completed his first triathlon—a testament to grit, expert care, and the power of a strong rehab team! 👏
