times when you need to rest and give
            it a break to avoid strain and swelling.”

            Levengood’s therapy includes a range
            of exercises at home as well as during

            the PT sessions. The goal is to achieve
            an even, steady gait and good stability
            that will enable him to move about
            safely, resume his full range of normal
            activities and avoid further injury.
            Some activities have been more diffi  cult
            than others; for example, Levengood
            found that stepping into and out of a
            high vehicle requires strength that he
            needed to work on. “My tractor step is
            pretty high, but getting in and out of the

            fire truck is much harder – I can really
            feel it,” he says.
            Moore has recommended exercises on

            a specific piece of equipment, the Power
            Tower, to help Levengood with the high-
                        (continued on next page)  Levengood is glad to be getting his physical therapy close to home, as he explains,
                                               “When you get local care from someone you know, you have a sense of trust, and trust is
                                               important because half of healing successfully is having a good state of mind.”
