Speaker 1 (00:02)

I found out I had my meniscus tear. It was kind of sad to see how I went to playing every other day to not
playing at all. Since my injury was so bad.

Speaker 2 (00:14)
It'S to run around the neighborhood. It's something that I couldn't do before I couldn't even go up and
down the flight of stairs in my own home without just seething pain in both of my knees. Just the quality of
life, as far as that is concerned, has improved dramatically.

Speaker 3 (00:28)
The whole goal here is to get a patient back to their pre injury stats, and that's going to be a multifaceted
effort.

Speaker 2 (00:42)
I've been a competitive referee for a very long time. When my knees let me know that it was time to either
slow down or stop. I looked at the possibility of having elective surgery done to see if there was anything I
could do to correct what was going on. And I went to go see a specialist turned out to be Dr. Nord at the
Orthopedic Center, and he had me go and do some tests come to find out that it was a condition that was
going to happen no matter what. So we had to do something. My knees feel 100%. I was coming to ice
my knee every single day after coming home from a run or doing a game. There's no lingering ailment
whatsoever.

Speaker 3 (01:18)
Patient's recovery may have maybe half related to the surgery, but half related to the rehabilitation
process. So we're constantly communicating with the physical therapists and the occupational therapists
to direct the patient's rehab process.

Speaker 9 (01:32)
How's it going?

Speaker 5 (01:33)
Good.

Speaker 9 (01:33)
You guys doing well?

Speaker 5 (01:34)
Good, sir.

Speaker 9 (01:35)
Good to see you. Thanks for coming in. How are you doing?

(01:38)
Good.

Speaker 4 (01:39)
I usually get hurt, like when I play sports because I've played a lot of sports. Initially we thought it was a
sprain. But then after we got MRI our results, we found out that I had ACL care and a menace to care.
Doctor north operated on my dad for his shoulder, and he just went straight to him how good he was for
my dad.

Speaker 9 (01:58)
But both of them.

Speaker 3 (01:58)
I'd say, are fairly active. There are, however, certain injuries that almost universally occur in certain age
groups. She tore her ACL, not something that can happen at any age. And someone who's fairly active
Lawrence's injury is one that we see kind of after the teenage years. It's very rare to have it before that
age. That was a tear of pectoralis muscle.

Speaker 5 (02:18)
The big tear, like a piece of paper, just tore. So I knew something wasn't right. And then after that, about
20 or 30 minutes later, my arm should have turned black and blue, fully recovered. Everything is good.
The rehab process. It was difficult. It took a little while, about two to three months process without
hesitation. When my daughter got in. Dr. Noah is our guy.

Speaker 3 (02:40)
So at Washington Hospital, we have a sports medicine program that serves the local community,
especially the high school students, where we have athletic trainers at the local schools.

Speaker 6 (02:50)
Our school had an opportunity to make a contract with Washington Hospital about three years ago, and
what that did was increase the athletic trainer presence on our campus. Now, with our contract through
Washington Hospital, we are able to properly care for all athletes in all sports every season. Brie is a
phenomenal, phenomenal athlete and has been a leader both physically and mentally. On our team.

Speaker 1 (03:13)
I got a meniscus tear in my left knee. Injury was pretty painful. X rays didn't show much, and so the pain
continued. We had to follow up with the MRI scan and surgery was the option I went with. Luckily,
everything went fine to this day. I don't have any pain at all. I feel way better. It's like I got a new knee. I've
had a great treatment, and my outcome was really good right now. I'm planning to go play for a D one
College team. That's who we're working with, and we're going to keep training until we get there
outpatient.

Speaker 7 (03:47)
Physical therapy basically means that you come to this facility or clinic when you're injured or probably
after surgery or went around a marathon over the weekend. We got a lot of those. It could be any body
part starting from your hand, elbow, shoulder, back, knees, ankles. So pretty much the entire body. It's
actually very satisfying helping these patients get back to their lifestyle. That was hampered because of
whatever injury or surgery they had. I think the patients feel very grateful and we feel great being able to
get them back to the community.

Speaker 3 (04:24)
The patient is a huge part of this, and if they're not engaged in the rehab process, if they're not putting in
110%, it's going to delay the progress there.

Speaker 8 (04:33)
Quality of life is a huge part of what we do inpatient rehab services. It starts when a patient is admitted to
the hospital. When a physician feels that a patient needs assistance with their mobility with their activities
of daily living, we take the patient's goals. We take the patient's functional tasks and in one way, shape or
form. We're working with them from a variety of levels to make sure that patients are able to be more
functional, more communicative to be able to provide for themselves. I'll us work together to try to make
sure that patient can get to their highest level of function and rehab services. Is there on the forefront to
lay the foundation. Learn more about injury rehabilitation at bayareeahealthiertogether. Com.
