🎉 Gary crushed it!

We’re proud to celebrate Mr. Gary as he graduates from physical therapy! 🎉

Gary came to us with decades of foot pain, an issue that began during his military service. From the arches to his ankles, the discomfort had made daily activities and hobbies tough for him to enjoy.

But Gary showed up, stayed committed, and put in the work. With a focused plan to build strength, mobility, and balance, he made incredible progress.

Today, he’s:
✅ Standing stronger
✅ Walking with less pain
✅ Tackling ladders and daily tasks with more confidence
✅ Reduced his pain from an 8/10 to a 2/10 on average

Gary, thank you for trusting us with your care. Keep up the great work with your home exercises, we’re cheering you on! 💪
