Managing limb sensitivity is an important part of preparing your residual limb for prosthetic use. Here are four simple techniques you can practice at home to help calm tenderness and build comfort over time:

• Massage – gentle pressure increases circulation and reduces tightness
• Tapping – light, rhythmic tapping helps your nerves adapt to new sensations
• Desensitization – use different textures (cloth, cotton ball, towel) to gradually decrease sensitivity
• Scar mobilization – slow movement around the scar helps prevent adhesions and improves mobility

Small, consistent steps can make a big difference. If you’re unsure where to start, our team is here to guide you 💙

A hydraulic ankle helps control motion just like your biological ankle would—absorbing impact, rolling smoothly through each step, and supporting you wherever life takes you.

Talk to us at your next appointment to hear more about it and if it would be the right fit for your lifestyle.

Every great prosthetic fit begins with consistent limb care. Proper wrapping helps your limb heal, shape, and prepare for the prosthesis that will carry you forward.

Our clinicians are here to guide you through each step—because at Next Step, your comfort and confidence come first. 💙

Adjustments are a natural part of prosthetic care. Over time, your limb may change shape or volume, especially within the first year of use. Routine visits allow your prosthetist to refine the fit, alignment, or suspension system for optimal comfort and function.

Your prosthesis should work with you — not against you.

If you are experiencing any pain, contact your prosthetist right away.

The Symphonie Aqua System uses hydrostatic pressure to capture an exact mold of the limb—replicating how it behaves under real weight-bearing conditions.

The result? A socket that fits like it should from day one—precise, comfortable, and personalized for every patient.

Is it normal to feel phantom limb pain?

Yes! After an amputation, many people still feel sensations where their limb used to be. It might feel like tingling, itching, burning, or even pressure — even though the limb is no longer there. These sensations are common and very real. The good news: there are treatments and strategies to help manage phantom pain, and you don’t have to go through it alone. 💙

The pin lock suspension system is one of the most common ways to secure a prosthetic limb to the residual limb. Here’s how it works:

How It Works
• A gel liner (usually silicone, urethane, or gel) is worn over the residual limb.
• At the end of the liner, there is a metal pin.
• When the user slides their limb into the prosthetic socket, the pin fits into a locking mechanism at the bottom of the socket.
• As the pin clicks down, it securely holds the limb in place.
• To remove the prosthesis, the user presses a release button on the socket to disengage the lock.

Benefits
•Secure fit: Provides a strong connection, which helps reduce pistoning (up-and-down movement) of the limb inside the socket.
• Ease of use: Simple to put on and take off—often just “click and go.”
• Confidence: The audible clicking sound gives users reassurance that their prosthesis is locked in place.

Let us know if you want to learn more about this system!

Adjusting to life with a prosthesis isn’t always easy, but each new step brings strength, confidence, and progress. You don’t have to be perfect—you just have to keep going, one day at a time. We’re here with you on the journey.
