Physical Therapy for Amputees
The loss of a limb can be a traumatic experience, affecting an individual both emotionally and physically. Working with a specialized physical therapist can ease the transition to a new way of living, and provide support at every step. We do this by working with each patient individually and tailoring care to their specific needs. Our experts in physical therapy provide assessment and treatment of the whole person for functional restoration, prosthetic use, and pain management. We work as a team to make sure the best outcomes are reached for the patient as they learn to adapt to life with a prosthesis.
