I never expected that the outcome of breaking my ankle slack lining would be meeting an amazing physical therapist and life-long friend!
I came to Heidi on crutches and with one enormously swollen ankle that I couldn’t put weight on. I wasn’t able to drive, had limited mobility, and had lost nearly all of my independence. After being serial casted for the previous three months, I had major muscle atrophy and scar tissue that had immobilized my ankle to the point that I couldn’t get my heel onto the ground. It was like I was in a permanent high heeled shoe. I was majorly down in the dumps and was so afraid that I would never be able to do the activities that I LOVE again. Heidi instantly put a smile on my face, telling me she had no doubts that I would be back on my snowboard and back rock climbing one day. She took away my worries and instantly put me at ease.
It was a long process, but Heidi and her amazing skill set gave me the right tools for recovery and my life back. I can freely enjoy whatever adventures come my way – be it rock climbing, riding elephants, moto biking, yoga, surfing or snowboarding – with confidence and joy!
