When a Colorado hiking trip turned into a medical emergency, Chad’s journey with OPPT began. Diagnosed with Compartment Syndrome which included immediate surgery, Chad’s vacation took an unexpected turn. But this setback was just the beginning of his inspiring recovery story.
Upon returning to Texas, Chad started his rehabilitation at OPPT. Our team faced a unique challenge: not only did we need to help Chad regain mobility in his surgically repaired leg, but we also had to prepare his other leg for a preventative procedure.
Post-surgery, Chad set his sights on an ambitious goal – a ski vacation just months away. This goal became our focus as we tailored his rehabilitation program which included:
Working with Brandon, Chad addressed his immediate post-surgery needs, which included focusing on proper movement patterns.
As Chad progressed, his program included increased intensity and complexity of exercises.
By preparing Chad for his ski trip, we helped him not just recover, but excel in his chosen activities.
Chad’s journey reminds us that with determination and the right support, we can overcome unexpected challenges and emerge stronger. At OPPT, we’re proud to be part of stories like Chad’s, helping our clients move well, move more, and truly thrive.
