3DPT would like to
congratulate Justin Porter for being named our most recent patient of the month
for August! Justin’s hard work and dedication to his physical therapy sessions
has enabled him to be his old self. We
may see him trying out for the Eagles soon!
3DPT: Tell us about your injury and how
you ended up in Physical Therapy?
Justin Porter: I was in a really bad car accident
and broke my femur bone. It was replaced with a metal rod at Cooper Hospital. I
developed some complications that forced me to have more surgery and delay my
rehab, which really set me back and caused my leg to become weak and my knee to
become really stiff.
3DPT: What was the hardest part of
Physical Therapy during the first month?
Justin Porter: Getting used to walking again after
not being able to put weight on my leg for a long time. It was also hard
getting my knee to bend again at the beginning – Jeff had to literally force my
knee to bend otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to do it myself.
3DPT: What is your favorite part of
Physical Therapy?
Justin Porter: Meeting wonderful people at 3D and
the encouragement I get from everyone in the office. I have been coming to PT
for a while now and I feel like I have gotten to know everyone really well.
3DPT: Who is your favorite Eagles player
and what is your predication on how they will finish this season?
Justin Porter:
Shady McCoy is my favorite Eagles player. I am predicting the Eagles
will finish 10-6 this year and make a run in the playoffs. I think Mark Sanchez
will end up starting instead of Nick Foles.
3DPT: You are known for the T-shirts you
wear to therapy - what is your favorite T-Shirt slogan
Justin Porter: “Can’t Ban These Guns” (with arrows
pointing to my arms) – check it out in the picture.
3DPT: What has been the highlight of your
summer?
Justin Porter: I was fishing recently with a bunch
of friends and I caught a 300 pound tiger shark. It took all of us over an hour
to reel it in.
3DPT: What are you most looking forward to
doing once you are 100%?
Justin Porter: Playing football again.
