Effective March 2012, Advanced Recovery Rehabilitation Center (ARRC) therapy operations have been transferred to Tami Toms, Director of Neurological Rehabilitation for Mobile Rehab Physical Therapy, Inc.
ARRC’s founder and president, Linda Ogren, watched several of her family members battle the stroke recovery process and this fueled her drive to help all stroke survivors. Out of the need for more effective stroke rehabilitation, Linda Ogren researched constraint induced therapy. “Impressed with the evidence, we endeavored to provide this innovative approach to clients who had reached a plateau in their previous therapy programs. In 2002 we established the Advanced Recovery Rehabilitation Center and began by offering constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT) and SaeboFlex Orthosis for upper extremities.” Under the guidance of exceptionally qualified physical, occupational, and speech therapists, ARRC patients received therapy that was unique and different than any therapy they had previously experienced. Stroke patients arrived at the Sherman Oaks, CA, center from all regions of the United States to receive this specialty therapy.
Tami Toms, PT, was the lead physical therapist for ARRC in the Sherman Oaks location from 2006-2010. Realizing that stroke patients found it difficult to travel, Tami developed the in-home therapy program. In 2010, all of ARRC physical therapy services went mobile and their physical location was closed. Tami continued to work with Linda on the mobile model which was a big hit with clients because of cost savings, convenience, and better outcomes from therapy treatments. When Linda exited the therapy field in 2012, she transferred ARRC operations to Tami and Mobile Rehab Physical Therapy, Inc.
