We understand that our clients’ needs are complex and often require specialist care that extends beyond just providing prosthetics. Early intervention by an interdisciplinary team (IDT) is widely acknowledged to significantly enhance clinical outcomes.

Unique Approach to Amputee Rehabilitation

In partnership with STEPS Rehabilitation we deliver a holistic approach to amputee rehabilitation, creating an environment that empowers recovery and promotes independence.

As the UK’s largest independent provider of prosthetics, we offer an integrated approach that brings together a team of medical experts and rehabilitation specialists, all working collaboratively under one roof. Our aim is to return our clients to as close to their pre-injury level of mobility and well-being.

Our onsite workshop and specialist prosthetic manufacturing facility, located less than a mile away from STEPS Rehabilitation, ensures the swift provision of prosthetic and orthotic devices. Meanwhile, our clients benefit from daily therapy sessions including physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, psychology, pain management, occupational therapy, and expert nursing care.
