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 23rd 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!
