Chris Ellingsen’s Story

Eight years ago at age 18, Chris was in a tragic car accident that left him a coma. After being discharged from the hospital, he began rehabilitation. Progress was slow and Chris was confined to a wheelchair for a year. Therapists at the rehab center gave up on him and he gave up on ever regaining his ability to walk. His mother, however, did not give up.

One day mom Loraine Ellingsen stopped by the In Motion rehab center and talked to the therapists. They met with Chris next door at the Victory YMCA and encouraged him to try physical therapy with them. Abandoned by his previous therapists, Chris was skeptical at first. The caring staff at In Motion soon gained his trust and began to challenge him with rehabilitative therapies to help him regain his ability to walk.
