Emily in Action

Emily found out that the most dfficult part after the surgery was restoring full motion in her knee.  She recalls it was one of the most difficult things she has ever done.  Some of the strategies she used during the physical therapy sessions was to imagine herself competing on the soccer field.  This allowed her the ability to "push" herself to get some of the motion she needed.
