Our team was at Mountain Pointe High School to provide sports screening and testing for student athletes. We were able to showcase some of the advanced technology used in our physical therapy centers and have the students meet a few of the knowledgeable physical therapists and athletic trainers who use the tech everyday. These screenings help us identify areas to work on to help prevent injury and increase performance.

Go Pride! Good luck this 2026-2027 season.

Denise Thompson was caught off guard — not just by the cancer diagnosis, but by what came next. She didn’t have a road map after her double mastectomy for breast cancer. Like so many patients, she was happy the surgery was a success, but that wasn’t the end of the story.

Denise experienced tightness in her chest and under her arms as well as a lot of pain. Not right away, but several weeks after the surgery, when she thought things were going well.

She wasn’t sure what would help. She asked her care team for physical therapy or scar massage. They recommended us.

Denise worked with ReVital Cancer Rehabilitation-Certified Physical Therapist Colleen Volpe. During nine visits, Colleen used myofascial release and manual therapy to reduce pain, ease restrictions and restore Denise’s range of motion.

“I highly recommend it for anybody,” Denise said. “My chest pain has stopped for the most part. My mobility’s a lot better. And just the education of knowing what’s going on has made a huge difference. I think that it’s something all patient’s should have.”

When stiffness, aching, grinding, clicking or pain make it hard to move your neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees or ankles — you should take action.

It could be osteoarthritis. There is no cure, and it starts earlier than most people realize. But there are three main actions to take early that can help, including physical and occupational therapy.

Read our blog on degenerative joint disease (DJD) to learn about the impact of joint disease, the roles of medication and surgery and the most common myths about care. Link in comments.

In honor of anyone affected by cancer, we’re proud to participate in Cancer Rehabilitation Awareness Month's five times sit-to-stand challenge with the International Cancer Rehabilitation Foundation.

The sit-to-stand test assesses strength, balance and functional ability in people affected by cancer. Our ReVital Cancer Rehabilitation therapists use this assessment as they help people regain strength, independence and quality of life.

We challenge you to take part, share your reason for participating and help spread awareness and support for people affected by cancer.

Has it felt like your finger or thumb has been getting "locked" into a bent position? You might have trigger finger. From limited movement, pain or stiffness or popping when you move your fingers, our hand therapists can help you resolve the discomfort that comes from it. Splinting, like this, can help relax the tendons, putting you a little more at ease.

When a shark took a bite out of Emily Ross' left hand, she had to relearn how to do almost everything.

She was simply snorkeling in waist-deep water at Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Fla., when a shark turned Emily's life upside down.

The shark severed multiple tendons and nerves, resulting in extensive surgery and leaving her with no mobility in her left arm. Emily went from rock climbing to being unable to move her fingertips.

"Due to the nature of the accident, we were unsure of what recovery could possibly mean for me," Emily shared.

During occupational therapy, Emily worked closely with Certified Hand Therapist Pia Dubois.

Two-to-four times a week, Pia helped Emily through wound care, relearning how to wiggle her fingers, picking up things like cones and validating fears and frustrations that she was facing. The first time Emily picked up a comb again felt like a huge deal.

"Pia was extraordinary," Emily said.

One therapy technique she found beneficial was neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), which reduces pain and strengthens muscles. Pia helped Emily find a device to take this therapy home with her.

Emily is still hoping to rock climb again. She currently doesn't have the dexterity to embroider like she once did. She can live somewhat independently, but navigating zippers, shoelaces and buttons can be a struggle while living on her own. Still, Emily recognizes the incredible gains she has made over the course of a year.
