Proverbs 22:6
Proverbs 22:6 – Train up a child in the way he should go,And when he is old he will not depart from it.
Gabby and her dad (Scott) spent some time helping out at the PC Rescue Missions Klothes for Kids last Saturday. Around 1000 kids from this county received 2 school uniforms, 2 play outfits and a pair of shoes.
Haiti Update
Emily Schmitt and I just returned from Haiti with encouraging news from the clinic and orphanage. The children that were rescued from a bad situation in February look healthy and happy. The facilities at the All My Heart Haiti orphanage are better than I imagined and the staff has done a wonderful job of providing structure and a loving environment for the children. We will continue to support this work and give these children every opportunity possible to succeed physically, spiritually and academically.
The clinic in Jacmel is thriving and the staff continues to grow in confidence and effectiveness. Many patients have been affected by the Chikungunya virus which presents with flu like symptoms with the addition of significant joint pain that moves around from joint to joint. We are also in the process of setting up infrastructure to develop tele-therapy in the Jacmel clinic. This would give us the opportunity to continue teaching and instructing clinicians in an interactive environment as well as being available for clinical advise/opinions.Thanks to all of our patients who have donated items for the orphanage and offered financial support!

Pain – No Pain. You choose.
Why do we have pain? A blonde goes into the doctor’s office and says, “Doctor I am in pain and need your help! “ The doctor responds and says, ”Show me where you hurt.” She commences to put her right finger on her left knee, her right hip and her head. The doctor replies, “I know what’s wrong with you…your finger is broken!”Although pain can be very unpleasant it serves a very valuable purpose to signal us when something is wrong. It forces us into taking care of our bodies as we go about our day. Think of pain as a check engine light on your car. It is telling you that you had better stop the vehicle and take an assessment of what is wrong. If you can’t really tell what is causing the problem then what do you do? You take your vehicle into the mechanic.
Doctors of Physical Therapy are like mechanics for the body. We have the awesome privilege to be able to work on the most advanced technology ever created by God…the human body. When you are in pain and can’t quite put your finger on it ? , then you need to call First Choice Physical Therapy to schedule an appointment. Our highly skilled, knowledgeable and caring Doctors of Physical Therapy will give you an honest opinion as to what the problem might be. Our specialties include Physical Therapy spinal manipulation, headaches, TMJ, all sports injuries, auto injuries and all orthopedic surgical rehabilitation to include total joint replacements for the ankles, knees, hips and shoulders.
C.S. Lewis stated it best when he said “Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”
To Your Health,

First Choice goes Germany
Over the past months the world’s most televised (yes more than the Olympics) sporting event, the FIFA Soccer World Cup has been watched by many Americans. Here at First Choice your Team of Physical Therapists and staff have followed the event closely, mainly because of one crazy German. In honor of the German national team winning the World Cup, we turned our Hawaiian shirt Friday into German soccer jersey Friday for this week!
We had a great time following the event but most of all we enjoyed how you, our patients got into it and had lots of fun with us. Only at First Choice can you experience first class therapy with lots of fun and laughter at the same time. Come join us next week for your therapy needs and make sure you’re ready for our weekly Hawaiian shirt Friday!!
