Please join us in congratulating Dr. Jordan Molstre on 10 years of excellent service. This important milestone coincides with the opening of a new Rehab Associates clinic in which Jordan is the site director! Located in the Collaborative Healthplex at the corner of Graves Mill and Nationwide in Lynchburg, the new clinic served a full schedule of patients its very first week, a testament to Jordan’s dedication and patient following!

Dr. Josh Bailey, President and CEO, says, “The new facility is in good hands! Jordan is a dedicated, highly skilled clinician. He is great at building relationships with patients, colleagues, and referral sources. He is truly a servant leader. We are thankful for his years of service and look forward to many more!”

“Five years is like a minute when you’re working with friends,” says Dr. Jason Gulstrom, site director at our Wards Road clinic.

Healing isn’t always about dramatic breakthroughs. More often, it’s about showing up for one more therapy session, taking one more step, completing one more exercise, and refusing to give up.

Every patient who chooses progress over excuses, hope over doubt, and determination over difficulty is demonstrating real courage.

At our clinic, we’re honored to walk alongside those everyday heroes as they regain strength, restore movement, and reclaim the life they love.

💙 Keep going. Your next step matters.

Recovery isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being willing to take the first step.

Whether you’re coming back from surgery, recovering from an injury, or working toward a goal that feels out of reach, progress begins when you choose courage over fear. Every exercise, every appointment, and every small victory moves you one step closer to where you want to be.

Don’t let the fear of failing keep you from becoming stronger than you were yesterday.

💙 Keep showing up. We’ll help with the rest.
