Wellness Wednesday: Residual Limb Hygiene
Clean skin = comfortable socket fit.
Daily hygiene is one of the most important steps in keeping your residual limb healthy and your prosthesis feeling great.
✅ Wash with antibacterial soap and warm water
✅ Dry thoroughly—especially in skin folds
✅ Check for redness, blisters, or irritation
Small steps each day can help prevent infection, odor, and skin breakdown.
If something doesn’t look or feel right—call us. We’re here to help.

Wellness Wednesday: Hip Contractures

Keep moving, even when you’re resting.
After an above-knee amputation, it’s important to avoid keeping your hip in a bent position for too long. This helps maintain flexibility for walking and future prosthetic use.
✅ Avoid sitting for long periods
✅ Lie flat on your stomach 2–3 times a day for 20 minutes
✅ Don’t place pillows under your hips, thighs, or residual limb
A flexible hip means a smoother gait, better balance, and more comfort with your prosthesis.
Small habits = big impact.

We have had the privilege of working with Heather on her journey! Most recently, we fit her with a Unileg by Limber Prosthetics.

She is so inspiring and has the greatest outlook on her new life. A quote that stood out to me was “I LOVE life and I want every amputee out there to learn to LOVE life again.” I encourage you to go read her story!

Let us know if you need help on your journey to love life again!
