Sister Kenny, Minnesota

There is something to be said about not being able to use your legs properly. This was the case for me recently and I ended up staying, for 10 days, at Sister Kenny Rehab Institute in Minnesota. They are well known for their rehabilitation regime and it worked for me. With the use of botox shots in my leg and some good physical and occupational therapy I am back home. My leg is still giving me a little trouble but there continues to be physical therapy at home and I know that I will be able to 'achieve' again.
