There is a phrase commonly used among motorcyclists as a stark reminder to be vigilant: There are two types of riders: those that have crashed and those that will crash.

While this isn’t true in every instance, it was for Chad Hemric, an avid dirt-bike rider and cyclist who twice injured his rotator cuff in falls. Having been through surgery and physical therapy previously, Chad had an idea of what to expect.

With a goal of getting back to dirt-bike racing, he scheduled an appointment with Physical Therapist Hannah Leffew at Select Physical Therapy - Suffolk. Hannah previously helped him return to riding.

“This was the second PT for the same shoulder,” he shared. "So, we worked to gain strength since the rotator cuff isn’t functional anymore.”

Chad credits Hannah for her exceptional encouragement, both physically and mentally. He received positive instruction, the reasoning behind it and engaging variations to the exercises. Each session helped restore his range of motion and strength. He is still on his way to recovery, given the permanency of the injury, but has already registered for his next race.

“When I first came to physical therapy,” Joshua Aguirre, a young martial arts competitor, said, “my body felt like it was in complete shutdown.”

Joshua has spent more than nine years moving with the precision required by Taekwondo and sport karate. It shaped his daily life, carrying him through national and international competitions.

His long-term goal? Representing his country at the highest level one day. He was moving in the right direction until a hip strain and alignment issue interrupted that rhythm. Stretching hurt, kicking triggered a sharp pinch, training stopped and even everyday movement felt unfamiliar.

A referral to physical therapy was the kickoff to his recovery. At his first sessions with Physical Therapist Scott Cook, Joshua couldn’t move the way he was accustomed to. His legs resisted deep stretches and he kicked low to avoid pain.

Scott focused on small, controlled efforts that helped with Joshua’s alignment, stability and understanding of how the injury affected his mechanics. Knowing why each exercise mattered kept him engaged.

By the second week, his hard, methodical work showed results. Consistent sessions led to deeper stretches without the same discomfort. His kicks climbed back to shoulder height, a clear marker that his body was responding to the demands placed on it. Each milestone reached restored his trust in what his body could handle.

“It felt weird not working out,” he shared, “or even just moving my body in a way I’m used to.”

Those changes, however, helped replace frustration with momentum. Joshua kicked over his head again – something that had seemed impossible early on. Today, he’s easing back into training with a better understanding of his body and its limits. His ambitions remain ahead of him, shaped now by patience, consistency and the ongoing work of staying healthy.

“All I could feel was the heat,” Sherwon Irvin said. “By then, it was too late.”

On April 31, 2024, he was working in a confined space in Alabama, applying a highly flammable glue when a teammate’s grinding tool threw a spark. The fumes ignited instantly. Burning blue made it invisible enough that no one else noticed at first, but was hot enough to cause severe injury.

Sherwon felt his ears burning and saw fire in his eyes. He moved without stopping to think. He got out of the area, dropped to the ground and rolled until the flames on his body went out. By then, however, the damage was done. He suffered second- and third-degree burns to both arms, his stomach, neck and head. He was rushed to Vanderbilt Medical Center, where he spent 18 days in the ICU. He was intubated three times. Swelling made it hard to find veins; needles went into his feet and neck. Skin grafts were taken from both thighs and placed on his arms. And surviving the fire did not prepare him for what followed.

When Sherwon returned home, he couldn’t stand or walk for three weeks. He needed help eating, using the bathroom and moving from room to room. His hands and arms were pulled in and wouldn't cooperate when he wanted them to move. Independence disappeared overnight.

“But no matter what,” he shared, “I kept fighting.”

When he was further along in his recovery, Sherwon began occupational therapy at Select Physical Therapy at Clarksville. Early sessions with Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant Mandy Davidson focused on enduring discomfort — stretching tight, healing skin and asking damaged joints to move again. Progress showed up in small tasks: feeding himself, standing without help, walking across a room. Each gain came directly from his efforts in the center and at home.

After 19 months of consistent work, Sherwon has started doing many things he did before the accident. He's cooking again. He's reaching overhead. He's regained control of his hands. While Sherwon’s skin remains tight and he isn’t finished with therapy, his continued efforts matter. He is excited to be where he is and, of course, even more excited about where he is headed in his journey.
