We are thrilled to share Chayton's success story! Chayton began therapy at PMC in 2018, at twelve years old. Chayton has a genetic disorder that puts him at a high risk for fractures, and past injuries have caused a lot of anxiety about certain movements, including getting up and down from a seated position and walking. Now seventeen, Chayton attends Aquatic Therapy twice a week, and also goes to the Frederick location for Physical Therapy and Speech Therapy once a week.

At 18 months old, Meredith began ISR (Infant Swimming Resource) swim lessons outside of PMC. Although she obtained the necessary skills for pool safety, she hated the water. This feeling only intensified after taking a break from swimming during the winter months that followed the lessons; Meredith lost her previously acquired swimming skills and instead acquired an intense fear of pools.
