TRAUMAPHYSIO’S AMPUTEE PHYSIOTHERAPY SERVICE
TraumaPhysio supports clients following both upper and lower limb amputations to realise their life goals.
Our specialist amputee physiotherapists are experienced in the assessment and treatment of people following limb loss, working collaboratively with prosthetic providers and within community-based multidisciplinary teams to support, prepare and rehabilitate clients who are considering or who have undergone amputation.
TraumaPhysio’s amputee rehabilitation service provides functional, goal directed therapy to help clients’ return to meaningful, value-based lives and activities. We work with clients within their homes and in the community to advise, plan and deliver effective interventions to address specific issues and progress towards ‘real-world’ activities and goals. We pride ourselves on supporting clients to make aspirational but considered goals using a range of techniques to empower them in their recovery.
WHY US FOR AMPUTEE PHYSIOTHERAPY?
We know that for rehabilitation to be successful it needs to extend beyond the clinic, which is why we provide treatment to our clients in environments meaningful to them. Our tailored packages cater to each client’s unique needs, and community amputee rehabilitation enables improved goal setting whilst prioritising helping the client to use their prosthesis effectively. We facilitate a return to the activities and places that allow for greater interaction with the people that matter most to them.

CLIENT FOCUSED AMPUTEE REHAB
TraumaPhysio provide comprehensive assessments, focusing on understanding the issues faced from the client’s perspective.
To gain a thorough understanding of the client’s physical capability we will record a range of measures to clearly understand their current situation. Our physiotherapists use client reported outcome measures to ensure the treatment impacts on the person’s perception of their ability, as well as their physical function. It’s important for us to understand the real-world impact of their amputation and our assessments are therefore multifaceted, including analysing the way that clients move and identifying activities and interests important to them.
Our assessment progress is ongoing and provides the basis for the generation of an individualised rehabilitation programme. This ensures that the treatment received by our clients remains meaningful and focused.
We recognise that there can sometimes be a disconnect between physical improvements and returning to important activities and pursuits. We adopt an empowering approach to help clients to identify value-based pursuits and break down perceived barriers. Alongside appropriate prosthetic provision TraumaPhysio have helped people to return to various leisure pursuits. This includes walking, hiking, gardening, cycling, running, snowsports, climbing, and kayaking amongst many others.
