As we wrap up Physical Therapy month, we are chatting with our newest PT, Diana Rivera. While she has been a PTA & COTA with Desert Hand & Physical Therapy, Diana is back at our Avondale office as a PT. Check out what she has to say⬇️

❓️Can you tell us about one of your most memorable patient success stories? "So many great stories! One the sticks out the most is a patient who was burned over 50% of his body (from the waist up) in an electrical explosion. He has been such a memorable patient is because we treated him for approximately 9 years. He went through so many surgeries and despite his circumstance, his attitude was also positive. We never saw him sad or depressed. In pain, yes of course, but never sad. He is such a wonderful and inspiring person and had such a wonderful family that supported him all the way through. He was always grateful to live another day. I learned so much from him. I have no reason to complain about anything."

❓️How do you motivate a patient who is having a tough time or has lost hope? "I feel like the best way to motivate a patient is to determine what he/she likes to do and make that your goal. If possible, incorporate things the patient likes to do when determining best interventions. At times, I even like to get family involved as motivation, if appropriate."

A this or that below from Richard! ⬇️

❓️Manual Therapy or Therapeutic Exercise? "Manual Therapy! Because it "tenderizes the beef" just the way we like it—perfectly prepping the tissues for the exercise program to come! 💪We love an efficient, hands-on approach to get things moving!"

❓️ What's the funniest (or most bizarre) injury story you've ever heard? "It has to be the one about the patient who sustained bilateral open comminuted forearm fractures from broadsiding a cow at 70 MPH on a dirt bike. 🤯Fatal to the cow, but the cow got the last word, managing to transmit E. coli to the patient! The patient survived, thrived after months of PT and one extra surgery, and now has a heck of a story.

Moral of it all: DHPT is here for the minor aches, the major breaks, and even the ones that require a deep dive into zoonotic disease protocols. 🐮

As we continue to celebrate PT Month, we want to highlight the dedication of our PT & DN Certified therapist, Lisa. Her approach? Empowering the patient ⬇️

❓️How do you motivate a patient who is having a tough time or has lost hope? "I listen to them and let them talk about whatever they want. Being an active listener is a good way to figure out what words or actions they need for encouragement. This focused, individualized care leads to amazing outcomes!"

❓️What's your most memorable success stories involving patients? "I've had patients who were able to avoid major surgery simply by becoming active participants and working hard in therapy."

At Desert Hand and Physical Therapy, your goals are our priority. 🎉

Today's Physical therapy Spotlight highlights Troy G - one of our talented Physical Therapists at DHPT, who also holds certifications in Dry Needling for upper extremity and hand! Check out our convo with him below⬇️

❓️ What's the funniest or most bizarre injury story you've heard? 🤔 "I once treated a patient with scars from a legitimate shark attack! But his new injury? He was randomly attacked by a mockingbird, fell, and shattered his elbow. Sometimes, the most unexpected things happen!" 🦈🐦

❓️This or That: Manual Therapy or Therapeutic Exercise? "It depends on the pathology, but I always enjoy when a manual treatment significantly helps a patient. Seeing a significant improvement after just one session is incredibly rewarding."

Thanks, Troy, for being so dedicated to every patient who walks through our doors!
