Dawn: “Thank you to Tichenor for everything they’ve done for the children before me, for me and after.”

Stories

Dawn was born with ‘club feet’ also known as ‘talipes equinovarus’, which causes the feet to point downward and inward. She came to Tichenor Clinic for rehab after surgeries to correct her feet when she was 4, 8 and 12 years old.

She fondly remembers coming in every Friday for her appointment, demonstrating that she was doing her exercises at home and as well as chart the progress.

“I spent a lot of time here in my youth and it feels so wonderful to be back here, to recreate those memories but in full gratitude. Thank you to Tichenor for everything they’ve done for the children before me, for me and after.” – Dawn Manns
