The team of physical and occupational therapists at the Brian Center at Southpoint is exceptional. My husband worked with three therapists in particular -- Rachel Sammons, Trey Washington, and Tom Cogdell -- although there were others he saw for a short time, and we both managed to observe the rest of the team at work. All of them impressed us with their expertise, their knowledge, and their loving care. With their understanding of the body and how it works, they were constantly judging how far to push the patient, given his physical needs as well as his current goals. This required of the therapists a familiarity with each patient as well as the ability to extrapolate from their vast learning the information necessary to design a specific program for each one.

We observed time and again many of the patients, inspired by and responding to his therapist by doing the best job he could do. We saw -- and benefited from -- the real value of the teamwork between the patient and the therapist.
