Just another day of work, or so Bill thought as he was cleaning up steel linkage parts at the end of a busy December day. Bill lifted a 30-lb steel linkage and was attempting to place it on a shelf overhead when he felt something strange in his shoulder followed by intense pain. After a visit to his doctor, Bill discovered he had torn the rotator cuff in his shoulder and would need surgery to repair the tear.

Following surgery, therapy was ordered as the next step in his recovery and Buffalo Rehab Group was just the place for Bill. Many years ago Bill had sustained a back injury and received his care at Buffalo Rehab Group. When the time came for his shoulder therapy, he already knew exactly where he wanted to go. “Everyone here is fantastic, my therapist is great, and it’s close to home!”

Five months after Bill began therapy again he is preparing for discharge. “My only goal when I came to therapy was to return to golfing again.” With Bill’s dedication to his exercise program and his therapist’s guidance, he was able to achieve this goal. “I just went golfing recently and I did quite well!”

As for future patients, Bill recommends that you “…keep exercising as you get older-that seems to be the key!”
