Most of us think of physical therapy as a means of regaining the use of one or more of our limbs following an accident, surgery or a stroke.

Am I going to lose my thumb?

I can remember wondering if I was going to lose my thumb after my tablesaw accident. And then the surgeon was very clear that he had his doubts about whether he could repair the damage. I was scared - fortunately, I have full use of my thumb today. It’s shaped a little different and has no feeling, but it works just fine.

My physical therapists were great. They took the time to explain every move, procedure and exercise. They were constantly reminding me to hold back and wait for the repaired tendons and skin to heal.

Sometimes physical therapy does more than help a person recover – it gives them something that they’ve never had before:

• the freedom of mobility
• the opportunity to play like and with other children
• self-confidence and a sense of belonging
