Thank you Preventive Medicine & Rehabilitation (CCHS)


I just wanted to take a moment to write to you to express my thanks for the extra efforts you given me in the rehabilitation exercise program at Preventive Medicine & Rehabilitation (CCHS) in Wilmington were you recently instructed me on. It is people like you who make my world a better place, simply by taking the extra time it takes to ensure that I was comfortable with the equipment benches, treadmills, elliptical machine, stair climber, stationary bikes, rowing machines, and spinning bikes.
You all stand head and shoulders above others in the facilitation field and I appreciate the time you took to care. Once again, thank you for an outstanding job!

Rehab Program before and after Surgery



I had to undergo extensive diagnostic testing to identify any potential for activity. My own personal exercise therapy plan is two one-hour exercise sessions each week for twelve weeks. They will be focusing on arms and legs training to increase the strength of the body's large muscle groups and increase stamina and how I need that. The stationary bicycle, treadmill, and walking and rowing machines are included in my exercise and participants wear cardiac and respiratory monitors during the program" I think they're out to kill me "LOl. As a patient I had to takes a six-minute walk before the program to assess how far I can walk and yes I passed the test, which is repeated following the program to document progress. This is only the beginning of my Rehab program before surgery, I will need another twelve week of therapy after surgery also.
