K Schroeder Interview

Ken tore the rotator cuff in both shoulders in the same year — and came all the way back. In this episode of Voices of Vitality, host Jenna Smith sits down with Ken, a former patient who faced two shoulder surgeries in one year after a Bowflex injury and a fall on the golf course. Ken shares what recovery really looked like, from sleeping in a lift chair for two months to needing help with everyday things like getting dressed and cutting his food. He also shares the mindset that got him through it: treating rehab like a brand new job, following his program exactly, and trusting the process even when it was slow. Today he's back on the golf course, doing Pilates for core strength and flexibility, and living proof that you don't have to accept pain and stiffness just because you're getting older. In this episode: • How Ken injured both shoulders and why he chose surgery • The hardest parts of early recovery (and how he got through them) • Why professional physical therapy beats YouTube videos every time • Getting back to golf after surgery • How Pilates improved his strength and flexibility • His best advice for anyone feeling discouraged in their own recovery Voices of Vitality is brought to you by Vitality at Home, sharing stories that inspire active, meaningful aging. 🎧 Subscribe for more real stories of staying active and well. #VoicesOfVitality #ActiveAging #ShoulderSurgery #RotatorCuff #PhysicalTherapy #HealthyAging
