We had a great time at the @opaf First Swim Clinic hosted by our partners at New Life Brace & Limb! Thank you everyone that could make it.

💡Please share! I’m teaching PT students how to best support an individual emotionally & mentally prior to their amputation.

I am hoping to collect reflections from those who have experienced limb loss on what helped them prepare for their amputation.

I am working on establishing a list of PT/PTAs who work primarily with amputees to provide this as a resource to patients who are looking in their area.

If this applies to you, may you fill out this form https://t.co/Uckt9DNsvz this would be a huge help!
