(WTOP) – About five years ago, Jason Collins had a stroke. He spent over a month in the hospital, had home therapy and then went through outpatient therapy for about six months.
Once he finished all that, he learned about the Ability Fitness Center at The Arc of Loudoun, a gym facility that supports people who have experienced brain injuries.
He spends several hours at the Leesburg facility, usually about two or three times a week, depending on his needs. It has fueled his physical and emotional recovery. “It’s as much mental, social and physical, which you just don’t really find any place else,” Collins told WTOP. CONTINUE
