At the beginning of my cardiac rehabilitation I had limited strength and cardiac resilience. The approach that the staff uses addressed these problems and I am currently cleared to return to normal activities and my cardiac output has returned to normal levels. I am very grateful for the help and education I received from the staff at First Colony Aquatic and Rehabilitation Center.

Thank you to First Colony Aquatic and Rehabilitation Center and especially to Megan and Randy who have helped me a lot when I first came. I suffered an amputation below my right knee and I was in a wheelchair. I started therapy to be able to walk again with a prosthetic leg. They helped me from the beginning, giving me confidence to go on. It was very difficult for me to stop using the wheelchair because what was left from my leg and knee was hurting too much, but with PT and the help from FCAR team, I was able to make progress. Now I have started to walk and I have less pain on my leg and I feel more secure within myself.

Before I started therapy, I was losing control of my body. I was having trouble doing basic things. Since coming to First Colony Aquatic, I have been getting back to normal. They knew what to do to get me back to being me.
