🐾✨ Office highlight of the week! Our marketing gal had the pleasure of meeting Cairo, the sweet service dog of one of our patients yesterday. Let’s just say the whole office couldn’t resist showering him with love and Cairo soaked up every second of it!

At Real Life Prosthetics, we know that healing and care go beyond just prosthetics and orthotics, our patients (and their amazing service animals) remind us daily of the joy, comfort, and support that comes from the bonds we share.

🐾 Here’s to the wagging tails and smiling faces that brighten our days!

We're excited to share that our Wilmington, DE clinic recently delivered a body-powered below-elbow prosthesis! This type of prosthesis uses a simple, reliable cable-and-harness system, allowing him to open and close the terminal device with natural arm and shoulder movements.

Every delivery is more than just a device. It's a step toward independence, confidence, and living life without limits.

What a beautiful day in the green yesterday! Real Life Prosthetics participated in the Golf Association of Philadelphia No Limit Golf Clinic, a program that brings people together through the empowering, inclusive sport of golf.

Our Wilmington team, practitioners Olivia and Mitch, attended the clinic along with their patient Ryan, who had this to say:

“Thank you Olivia & Mitch for introducing me to the GAP Adaptive Golf program. I’m really grateful you turned me on to it- it was an awesome experience getting out on the course yesterday. Looking forward to more!”

The GAP No Limit Clinics are designed to foster community, inclusion, and joy through golf, making the game accessible to individuals of all abilities.

A: Follow-up prosthetic care is part of our commitment to you. Whether it’s skin irritation, limb volume change, or component tweaks, we are here for it all. Your prosthesis should work for you, not against you.
