I had surgery on my knee and could barely move. The pain was terrible. If I stood up, I was unsteady and afraid I would fall. My doctor recommended Bushwick Center for my rehab, it was a great suggestion. The team there designed a plan specifically for me, and they worked wonders. They worked me in the gym almost every day and restored my strength. Thanks to Bushwick Center, the pain is gone; I’m walking again and back home. I feel safe and happy—and it only took three weeks!

I have diabetes and it had gotten really bad: I had to be hospitalized. The doctors brought the diabetes under control, but when I was discharged, I was extremely weak. They recommended I go to Bushwick Center for my rehab. A great recommendation! After fifteen weeks of physical and occupational therapy, five to seven days a week, I got my strength back. I’m back home, able to walk on my own without fear of falling. Thanks to the Bushwick Center team, I have my independence back. Not only that, but they gave me tips on diet and exercise—ways to control my diabetes going forward.

I had a stroke years ago and I never fully recovered. I was so unstable, I could barely walk. It got so bad, I landed in the hospital for two weeks. When I was discharged, I couldn’t function on my own, so I was admitted to Bushwick Center for rehab. Now that was a different kind of stroke—a stroke of good luck! The therapists worked with me 5 to 7 days a week and they worked wonders. They have a great room where they help you practice things like doing laundry and cooking—activities of daily living. At first, I could barely get across the room, but the Bushwick Center team was patient and encouraging. I stayed there for a little more than a month, but I’m back home now, stronger than ever!
