HD Physical Therapy is happy to announce its community
collaboration with their Lakeside Office Park neighbor, Sanborn Day Services.
“Even though we certainly don’t exclusively treat adult day
care residents, we are happy to team up with our Sanborn neighbors to have the
opportunity to help even more people,” said HDPT CEO & co-founder Ed
Harding, PTA. “The new direct entrance that we have to their facility allows
their residents’ therapy to be even more streamlined, convenient and effective.
We share the common goal of being committed to bringing the highest quality of
care to their residents, and this new working relationship allows us to do just
that.”
One of our greatest success stories to date is Sanborn
resident Augustine “Auggie” Costanzo.
Auggie, who is 88, had a stroke over 3 years ago. Since then, he had
been wheelchair bound. He had tried other therapy in the past, but he always
felt like he fell through the cracks and that he never got the right treatment,
with the right people. He was not where he wanted to be. Auggie wanted to walk
again.
He started working with HDPT a few months ago. At first he
progressed slowly. We worked with him on stretching and increasing his range of
motion. He then moved on to balance work, independent standing, safe
transferring and, most importantly, gaining confidence. Auggie’s disposition
changed when he moved on his own; he got excited and shared his accomplishments
with family members and other residents. However, Auggie still wanted more.
In the past, he had been coddled, but we made him work. He
moaned and groaned, but we pushed him. Combining Auggie’s desire to walk, his
hard work and our skills and experience, we finally made it happen. With a
specially fitted rolling walker, Auggie walked the length of our clinic and we
all cried. Auggie still uses his wheel chair sometimes, but he continues to
walk with is walker at Sanborn Day Services and at his home. He is one happy
man.
