Please Help!!

Hi guys, I could really do with some help in caring for my orchid. A few months ago I repotted my Phalaenopsis. At first it seemed like it was all going ok. But the pot kept getting knocked which meant I had to resit it in the pot. The plant now seems to have gone into some sort of dormancy: there aren't any new leaves or roots growing and I'm worried that pretty soon the leaves it has left are going to start dying. Although it's always had more aerial roots than normal ones it only has one small normal root left as some plonker over-watered it and the rest rotted away. As it doesn't have a proper roots system anymore I'm worried it can no longer absorb nutrients and that's why it's not growing. Is there anything I can do to help it?
