Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy for amputees is one of the most important parts of getting the most out of your prosthesis. We help you build strength, balance and confidence before and after your fitting, so you can return to the things you enjoy
Why Physiotherapy for Amputees Matters
A prosthesis works best when your body is ready for it. Physiotherapy prepares your residual limb, strengthens the muscles you rely on, and teaches you to move safely and efficiently.
What We Help With
- Pre-prosthetic preparation: Limb shaping, swelling control and strengthening.
- Strength & conditioning: Core, hip and upper body strength.
- Balance & falls prevention: Building stability and confidence.
- Pain management: Managing residual limb and phantom limb pain.
- Return to activity: Getting back to work, sport and daily life.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start physiotherapy?
Ideally soon after surgery, as advised by your doctor. Early rehab helps prepare you for your first prosthesis.
Do I need physio if I already walk with a prosthesis?
Often, yes. Physio can improve your walking pattern, reduce pain and prevent long-term strain.
Does medical aid cover physiotherapy?
Many schemes cover a set number of sessions. Check your plan or ask us for help.
