Coming home after an amputation can be overwhelming. Familiar spaces suddenly feel different, and the loss can fully sink in. For loved ones, knowing how to help (or when to step back) can make a big difference. Here are some ways to offer support during this time. #AmputeeStrong

After an amputation, the skin on your residual limb can be extremely sensitive. That limb will eventually experience pressure, touch, and forces it wasn’t previously exposed to. Desensitization can help your body gradually adapt, making prosthetic use more comfortable over time.

So, today and every day, let's continue to break the stigma, support each other, and continue having open conversations about mental health! (4/4) #mentalhealthmatters #bellletstalk #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthsupport #limbloss #limbdifference #amputees #canada

Our work in prosthetics and orthotics is about more than just muscles and bones. It is also about supporting confidence, restoring independence and improving the overall quality of life for each of our patients. (3/4)

The ability to move freely, regain independence, and participate in daily activities doesn't just improve a person's physical health; it can also have a profound impact on their mental and emotional well-being. (2/4)

Mental Health Matters. Today is Bell Let's Talk Day and we want to take the opportunity to reflect on the importance of mental health. For many of our patients, mobility and mental wellness can be deeply connected. (1/4)
