 VIP's patient, Elliot, was featured in the Cincinnati Enquirer this week!
Our patients have the most inspiring stories and we are so proud of the hard work put in to recovery. Check out the article here!  A quick shout out to a few community members that generously supported VIP NeuroRehabilitation Center over the weekend! A BIG THANK YOU to Dawn at Mega Western for donating new faucets for the restrooms at VIP and Curtis at Stars and Pipes Plumbing for donating your services to VIP to install the new faucets in the restrooms! We are so thankful and love seeing the community come together to support for VIP! Also, this would not have been possible without the time and effort of our patient, Jeff, who coordinated these donations. Awesome!  Tomorrow (Sept. 5th) is a BIG day at VIP!!! Mike Charbonnet will be finishing his fundraising ride, 650+ miles from San Francisco to San Diego, over 9 days, at VIP's facility (7340 Trade Street, Suite F San Diego 92121)!!! If you are in the area come and cheer him to the finish line! **We expect him in the afternoon but will update this post with exact times shortly** Check out his fundraising page at https://www.facebook.com/charboscharge to see his journey!   Today is the day! Mike Charbonnet drove up to San Fransisco yesterday and is beginning his 650+ mile bike ride down the coast to raise support for VIP NeuroRehab! Please follow Charbo's Charge page for daily updates! Donations to VIP can be made online or if you would like to pledge per mile, please email Janet at office@vipneurorehab.org!  VIP would like to take a moment to highlight our amazing lead Physical Therapist, Melanie Wrench, PT, MTP! Melanie joined the VIP Team in late 2015 and it is safe to say she has been an integral part of all the great things happening at VIP. Her experience and knowledge have been instrumental in the improvements that patients have gained. Additionally, Melanie leads our therapy staff, interns, and volunteers with professionalism and a true passion for neuro rehabilitation. Thank you for all you do Melanie!!! Read her bio below for a bit more on Melanie's background! Melanie, originally from San Diego, received her undergraduate degree from The University of California at Santa Barbara and her Masters degree in Physical Therapy from the University of St Augustine in Florida. She has 15 years of clinical experience treating patients with a wide variety of neurological conditions and orthopedic injuries. She has been a member of the American Physical Therapy Association since 1998 and was recognized by the American Physical Therapy Association as an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) for 10 years. Melanie uses an eclectic mix of manual therapy techniques and a functionally based approach to therapeutic exercise to help maximize her patient’s recovery. Her goal is to always make therapy a fun and enjoyable experience. Melanie enjoys family time with her husband and daughters. Together, they enjoy swimming, hiking, traveling, going to the beach, and taking advantage of all that living in San Diego has to offer. Here at VIP NeuroRehab we do not simply treat one body part or one specific symptom, we treat the entirety of the patient with creative, functional, and effective interventions. In this video, the PT is assisting Jeff in planks to improve strength of the core, shoulders, and legs while providing vibration stimulation to the muscles for increased facilitation of muscle contraction. The patient is also wearing a Neuro IFRAH hand splint to improve range of motion and weight bearing ability through his affected wrist/hand, while also decreasing tone. Awesome work Jeff! To see how VIP can help you and learn more about our treatments, schedule a tour today! Brian & Tim are showing off VIP's new spin bike! Another way to keep therapy challenging and fun!

These shirts are comfortable and great for our active staff. We are grateful for the support of community businesses like RoadRunner Sports!  Last night at the 2017 Military & Veteran Entrepreneur Awards, hosted by the Rosie Network and the San Diego Business Journal, VIP's President, David Charbonnet was awarded 2017 Best Executive in the non-profit category! The evening was filled with amazing stories of military and veterans thriving in the business sector and we are proud to have VIP and David featured among them! This video below of David's acceptance of the award shares his heart for VIP and its patients. The 2017 awards program recognizes military veterans and their spouses in the San Diego region who have made a significant achievement in their careers in the past year, have a strong record of innovation or outstanding performance in their work and are actively involved in our community. Individual awards honor veterans who have transitioned to the private sector business community and demonstrated leadership, expertise, innovation and/or community involvement. Additionally, winners will be highlighted in the November 6th San Diego Business Journal so keep an eye out! |
