I travel the country visiting neuro-rehabilitation clinics for my business, selling therapy tools that facilitate aggressive activity-based therapies (for your own good, please google “activity based therapy spinal cord injury”). Which is to say, I seek out the rare breed of neuro PT for whom the job is their passion, the cutting-edge research their evening reading material. Even among this subset of individuals, Sakina sits comfortably atop the highest tier.

Through treatment under Sakina, I have regained movement in both legs along with development of better control of my trunk in stance and movement. I am able to take steps with minimal assistance and am now attempting stairs and independent balance. Jackie and Sakina worked together to utilize both their strength and knowledge to provide an aggressive treatment plan that is fluid as they see my needs and function changing.

My initial Physical Therapy treatment facility released me because my legs began to spasm. Six months later I began working with Sakina and Jackie. When I first began, I was using a wheelchair primarily for mobility, but did have some movement in my legs. Within 3 months of treatment with Sakina and Jackie, I was able to walk with a walker and 1 year later I was walking with 2 canes.

My doctor told me I would never walk again or regain any function, but I was determined to prove him wrong. Currently, I can stand with AFOs with better posture and recently I am starting to be able to let go of my arm support very briefly. Since working with Sakina and Jackie my legs have gotten stronger and my wife says my butt muscles are getting bigger!

When I started working with Sakina I realized how much potential I still have for maximizing my mobility and independence. She is incredibly knowledgeable and up to date on the most advanced therapies. She continues to get more training, study the journals and network with the (other) experts in the field.

I have traveled all over the country in search of the best therapy and to gain as much recovery as possible. Sakina and Jackie are two of the best therapists I have ever worked with and they know exactly how to tailor a program to fit your individual needs. They are creative, knowledgeable, and always push you to do your best!
