Imagine being completely healthy and waking up one day with a soreness in your legs, and then within 36 hours being completely paralyzed from the neck down. That is how my story starts, but luckily it ends on a far better note, and I attribute both the speed and strength of my recovery and healing to Tara at Orlando Neuro Therapy. I was diagnosed with Guillian-Barre syndrome, an auto-immune disorder that affects the myelin sheaths of the nerves and renders the body paralyzed. I spent significant time hospitalized and in a inpatient rehabilitation facility, and found Tara through a friend in Orlando who works directly with dozens of physical therapists on a daily basis. When he found out what was happening he immediately recommended Tara for my rehabilitation, and told me there was no one better…he was right and when I found out I was being released, she was my first call!! Learning how to walk again was probably the most challenging thing I had to do throughout my experience. I came to Tara needing a walker to get around, and in three months left on my own two feet with no aides. She devised a program for me that went above and beyond traditional physical therapy, going so far as taking a weekend class to learn the latest techniques, and then buying special tools to rehabilitate my legs. Tara even worked hand in hand with a team of experts to ensure that I had the appropriate braces throughout my recovery. I could go on all day, but I think you get the picture. If you are need of a physical therapist who is goal oriented, dedicated, professional, and will get you back to where you want to be, she should be YOUR first call!
