A.J. Iftikhar receives physical therapy treatment from Juliet Cameron at East Naples Physical Therapy for injuries sustained while in Afghanistan. Iftikhar attends his session three days a week working predominantly on injuries he sustained to his ankle and back. Iftikhar was injured in Afghanistan while working with the U.S. Marine specializing as a translator. While on mission, Iftikhar was hit by an improvised explosive device. Their military vehicle veered just a few inches off track and hit an IED that exploded, leaving Iftikhar months later facing several surgeries and hundreds of hours of physical therapy.
