Jordan’s Distal Biceps Injury Patient Story
Meet Jordan!
Jordan sustained a left distal bicep tear resulting in the need for surgery. Following his surgery, Jordan was referred over to us for extensive rehab starting in October of last year. Jordan has worked hard with the occupational therapy team in our California office the last few months! He has since regained ALL his elbow range of motion, and the last month has been focused on building strength to return to work as a plumber. Jordan can now lift and carry up to 65 pounds, as well as push and pull heavy objects! His therapy consisted of simulating work tasks and overall conditioning in order to return to work.
Jordan has completed his care at CAO and will now complete 4 additional weeks of work hardening as recommended by our occupational therapy staff given his high work demands. Jordan let us know that he met his goals while at therapy: “CAO encouraged me to keep going to achieve my goals. Awesome support and help from them!”
Jordan earned his graduation shirt and all the struggle and laughter along the way. We are sad to say goodbye but so happy he can live life again!! Way to go, Jordan!!
