My Therapy Story

Hi, my name is Charlie Ruckheim!

On the 14 of March 2021 I suffered a major health issue, where I was hospitalized at St. Cloud Centra Care Hospital for four days in ICU and three more days until I was discharged to St. Williams PP for ten days of recuperation.  My body was hit big time, by being sent into what the doctors can only say as “Major Shock”!!

I suffered being very, very weak!  The ten days at St. Williams was all about getting my strength back just to be able to walk to some degree!  After ten days I got to go home.

Now I am doing outpatient Physical Therapy two days a week for six weeks.  It’s all about getting my strength back.  The people in Therapy were really good at getting me back on my feet and slowly getting stronger.  Small steps, one day at a time.  They always explained what and why I was doing it and very watchful for not to fall.

I’ve been in their Therapy before as an outpatient after a shoulder replacement.  I would give them high recommendations!  Their facilities and equipment are great.  They do a very good job!!
