Bio
Ronnie Schroeder
Being an older, active and athletic outdoor enthusiast, I found myself sidelined following a total hip replacement in December 2014. I was a physical therapy skeptic. My mental attitude had been weakened almost as much as the strength and mobility in my body following surgery. It is no exaggeration to say that Amy positively encouraged and coached me to regain full and even better function than I had had in several pre-surgery years. Her friendly and contagious enthusiasm and dedication to sport and mobility were key in my rehabilitation. Now I feel good and I am climbing, paddling, cycling and hiking better than ever. My fridge is plastered with helpful reminders of useful exercises to keep me fit. And I have a new friend. Amy rocks.
