It is crucial to meet and spend some time with prosthetists to discuss your individual situation, any concerns and expectations. Choosing the right provider is paramount to successful rehabilitation post amputation. The best partnerships will be lifelong.

The right provider can work with you to develop a prosthesis that promotes accelerated recovery. There will be adjustments needed as your body changes and adapts to your new normal. Your prosthetist should be clinically competent and available to correct any discomfort that may arise, by rapidly pinpointing the cause from a myriad of potential factors.

The best practitioners are not only skilled prosthetists, they are also problem solvers, motivators and above all you can rely on them to be there when you need them.
