What's New for November at POLFIT!

Hello Polfit Families!

Thank you to all that came to our Patient Appreciation Party! We had a blast and enjoyed spending time celebrating you and your accomplishments! We hope you had a great time, too! The full photo album from the event is available on our Facebook page. Be sure to send us a “Friend Request” if you aren’t already on our list!

We have some new great accomplishments to CELEBRATE too!

Erika has been attending Polfit since it opened and recently was able to return again due to a highly successful golf tournament fundraiser in her honor! She is just about to complete a month-long session and has been taking steps in the parallel bars. At the beginning of the month she had trouble moving one leg and then the other. Due to the intensive stretching, increased strengthening and the repetition of the movement, Erika is now taking reciprocal steps – lifting her legs higher and taking longer strides. She chants “Go, Go, Go, Go” with each step – another accomplishment, since she had no speech when she began. Just today, Erika stood on her own with crutches for 21 seconds! Way to go Erika!

Following a stroke, David’s left wrist was paralyzed. After a combination of Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments and working at Polfit he is now able to bend his wrist and use his hand! Alright David!

The Disabilities Resources Expo at the Riverside Convention Center October 23^rd turned out to be a very successful event and we were able to invite many new families to attend Polfit! Some have already taken advantage of the opportunity to receive an Individual Assessment and more are scheduled for their turn too! If you’ve never attended Polfit, call or email today to schedule your FREE 1-Hour Individual Assessment!

Reach your next milestone at Polfit! We look forward to seeing you soon!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM POLFIT!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM POLFIT!

It’s a fun and hectic time of year for all, but there’s always time for you to reach a new goal at Polfit! Many are taking advantage of our upcoming mini-session that we hold every Christmas break. This year is scheduled for 12/13-12/24 and nearly filled up! Let us know if you’d like to join us for this session or reserve your spot for next year! If the holidays are too busy we have many openings in the New Year so call and schedule your session today!

Here are some of the latest achievements of our patients:

Cannon’s walking greatly improved in his last session at Polfit! He lengthened his stride in forward and side-steps. He also began sitting in a proper position when sitting on the floor with his legs extended in front of him and was able to balance on his own!

Jerry began taking steps this summer in the Spider Web at Polfit and has been increasing his number of steps each month in maintenance sessions. Last week he took 1500 steps in a row! That nearly triples the amount of steps just since October!

Brandon is making huge strides Polfit! Not only is he taking steps on his own in the Spider Wed, but he’s actually taking steps with resistance – forcing him to increase his muscle strength in his legs. His hip flexors are much looser too, allowing for longer strides.

Aadel increased his head control during his last intensive session. Mom also reports Aadel has been able to get into different positions easier including when he sleeps :o)

WAY TO GO POLFIT PATIENTS!

In addition to incredible milestones being reached, Polfit has more exciting news! Polfit was featured in an article in a magazine called OC FAMILY. It highlights our Spider Web Therapy. You can usually find a copy of OC FAMILY at doctor offices and other local facilities or you can view the article online at:
