Congratulations to Kingston Chung for winning the first Physio2U In-home Physiotherapy Independence Impact Award! To recognize our hard working team members and share client success stories, every quarter, a team member will be recognized. This is Kingston’s client success story:
🙌🏼 I have been working with this client since December following a hip fracture and surgery in April 2025. When we first met, she had recently transitioned from independent living to assisted living and required full-time nursing support. She was wheelchair-bound, required lift-assisted transfers, and had lost much of the independence she once valued.
Her goals extended beyond simply getting stronger. She wanted to walk again using her walker, and enjoy something she deeply missed—going outside to sit in the sunshine and fresh air and be able to see and listen to the birds. 🐦
My approach focused on both rehabilitation and relationship-building. Through consistent encouragement, creating a safe and trusting environment, and celebrating small milestones, we worked on progressive strengthening, balance, gait training, cardiovascular endurance, and functional mobility. Having previously worked with her late husband, we also shared conversations about their travels and birdwatching tours, which helped build rapport and made each session more meaningful.
Over the course of treatment, she demonstrated measurable improvements in her 5x Sit-to-Stand, Timed Up and Go, and Berg Balance Scale scores, along with increased walking endurance and reduced shortness of breath during activity. She progressed from being wheelchair-bound and dependent on lift-assisted transfers to walking using a four-wheeled walker and requiring only minimal one-person assistance for transfers to and from her bed and toilet.
One of the most rewarding moments was taking her for a walk outside to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air—something she had spoken about since our very first sessions. Seeing her accomplish a goal that many take for granted was a powerful reminder of how meaningful rehabilitation can be.
