STAR Physical Therapy

When Shane first started physical therapy with Katie at our Clarksville clinic in April, he was unable to walk or bear weight following an ankle fracture and surgery. Based on his symptoms, his treatment also focused on Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), which was officially diagnosed just a few weeks ago.

Today was a major milestone as Shane walked into the clinic without an assistive device for the first time! 🎉

To continue progressing his nerve desensitization therapy, we incorporated a fun painting activity using paintbrushes, cloths, and finger paint on the affected area. His mom, Lee, came with him today, and our PT student, Olivia, joined in the fun! 🖌️🎨

We’re so proud of the hard work Shane has put into his recovery and the progress he continues to make. We can’t wait to see him reach his next milestone. Keep up the great work, Shane! 👏💙

❤️ We're joining the fight to CANCEL Cancer! 🎗️

This summer, our STAR Physical Therapy - Pleasant View team is proud to partner with the American Cancer Society, whose mission is to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support, so everyone has the opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.

We'll be hosting fun fundraising events throughout the summer, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the American Cancer Society. We hope you'll stop by, join the fun, and help us make a difference!

Together, we can make a difference and help bring hope to those affected by cancer because no one fights alone. ❤️
