Farewell Darius! 
 
Darius a senior DPT (Doctor of Physical Therapy) student from the University at Buffalo spent his last rotation with us from mid February till first week of May. Darius was not only well liked by PPPT staff but patients as well.  Many of you got to know Darius and before Darius left we asked him a couple of questions on his stay here at PPPT and what he's doing in the next couple of months. 


Q: What made you want to start a career in Physical Therapy?


A: " I actually was a patient here a long time ago, and I liked the idea of helping people regain their strength and improve their ability as a career." 

Q: What was your favorite thing about working at Peak Performance PT?

A: "Mike, Karen, and Andrew are extremely helpful.  I learned a lot and really enjoyed their style of certain exercises and how they treat each patient individually. 


Q. What's the first thing you plan on doing when you graduate? 


A. "My girlfriend is a grad student at Cornell and we have two dogs. So I can't wait to relax and spend some time at a park with all of them!"

APRIL PEAK PERFORMER OF THE MONTH:

Megan Plain 
Mendon Lax/Bball Player, U of V recruit 



Before PT:
 
* Megan's left knee had twisted during a collision in lacrosse practice.

* She had a complex tear of the ligaments at her upper fibula (below her knee).

* After immobilization and PT, she eventually underwent surgery to stabilize the joint, needing yet another month of immobilization.

 
After PT:


* Is able to be active in sports especially play fully in Lacrosse!

* Pain free 

 
Megan says: "Being consistent with my exercises along with having determination and perseverance helped me succeed. My ultimate goal is returning to play next year at U of Virginia and I never took my eye off of that. Mike is the only one I would have trusted to guide me through this. His innovative approach has been a key to my success. At this point I feel more like family than just a patient!”

Mike says:
 "Wow...What a picture of dedication and ‘never say die’ that Megan has shown. It’s been nearly an entire year of hard work, and 8 months of just post-op PT she’s stayed committed to. But she has shown the heart of a champion from the very start. This girl’s got true grit...she is relentless, focused, goal oriented and trusting in the process. 
Megan, its so cool to see you back playing - congratulations!”

 

Each Peak Performer of the month gets to choose a charity off of our list for us to donate to that month. Megan chose " St. Jude's Hospital"  Peak Performance is happy to donate this month on Megan's behalf.
