It all started with a Razor scooter.<\/p>\n
This past summer, Randy Rudy was at the beach playing with his grandson when he decided to hop his grandson\u2019s Razor scooter and go down a ramp. Unfortunately, the ramp got the best of him, and he crashed to the bottom, tearing his right shoulder.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe tear was so severe, the doctor actually had to put four anchors in to repair it,\u201d Randy says. \u201cI had a rotator cuff repair done on my left shoulder in the 80s, so I knew there was a lot of pain and hard work ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n
After undergoing surgery with Dr. Mark Pfaff, Randy began physical therapy with Mike Piercey at ATI Physical Therapy in Elkton, MD. With Mike\u2019s help, he began the recovery process.<\/p>\n
\u201cMike worked me hard, but it was always fun,\u201d says Randy. \u201cHe was very open with me and always bantered with me as I was in therapy. He made it enjoyable.\u201d<\/p>\n
For the next three months, he met with the Elkton team to work on his right shoulder. Randy\u2019s positive attitude and the upbeat atmosphere at ATI carried him through tough physical therapy sessions, and now, he says he\u2019s as good as new.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am just totally satisfied with how this thing worked out,\u201d Randy says. \u201cI thought I\u2019d have limitations, but I don\u2019t. My shoulder is back to 100 percent, and there\u2019s nothing I can\u2019t do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aside from a healed shoulder, Randy notes that he enjoyed physical therapy at ATI because of the people he had the opportunity to interact with.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe folks that work there are so encouraging,\u201d he says. \u201cNo one ever seemed like they were having a down day, so I didn\u2019t either.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
