Bill Warren, a local jewelry designer and small business owner in Hudson, North Carolina, faced a major setback when food and ankle surgery brought his active lifestyle and work to a standstill. Needing expert help to regain his mobility, Bill turned once again to Frye Regional Piedmont Therapy in Lenoir. Located at 1041 Morganton Blvd. SW, Piedmont Therapy has been a consistent part of Bill’s recovery journey over the years.

“This wasn’t my first surgery,” Bill shared. “I’ve worked with the group four or five times now, and every time the experience has been excellent.”

For his most recent recovery, Bill attended therapy sessions twice a week, each lasting about an hour. His treatment plan included targeted stretching and strengthening exercises designed to support tendon healing and restore full range of motion.

“They also taught me how to continue the work at home,” he said. “I still do those stretches every day.”

The results have gone far beyond just healing.

“Before surgery, I couldn’t walk. I was in constant pain and had to take time off work because I couldn’t stand for long periods,” Bill recalled. “Now, I’m back to walking several miles in the mornings and spending full days on my feet at the store.”

As a hands-on business owner, regaining his independence and physical stamina was essential.

“I’m back to normal,” he said. “My quality of life is not just improved; it’s restored. And Frye Regional Piedmont Therapy made that possible.”
