Love of the game helped with his physical therapy

HS basketball player Cody Holme loved the game and credited it with his quick recovery from a serious auto accident.

His love of sports was definitely the main motivating factor in his recovery, according to Holm.

“I’ve put a lot of time into my sports throughout life and my high school career here,” the 18-year-old said in an interview at the high school last week.

“It means a lot to me, so I’ve lifted weights and worked out.”

He also had some good things to say about his physical therapist!!

He credits Hudson physical therapist Rich Larsen with prescribing an exercise program that got him back into athletic competition as quickly as possible. It involved daily workouts in friends’ swimming pools and applying heat to his neck twice a day.

“It kind of stunk because I had to miss a lot of time with my friends because I had to go to my physical therapy appointments,” Holm recalled. “It was tough because it was summertime and I wanted to be with my friends.”

He also missed out on the summer league and tournament competition he was counting on to get him ready for the 2006-07 hoops season.

But the therapy regimen made him even more disciplined, he said. He had to work harder at it than most people realize.

He has a good story. Do something you like when rehabbing.
