What most people don’t realize about prosthetic care:

Many people think prosthetics are a one time solution.

They aren’t.

Real prosthetic care is ongoing and personal. It includes adjustments as your body changes, comfort checks, skin health, alignment, and making sure your device supports your daily life, not just walking in a straight line.

If you or someone you love uses a prosthesis, regular follow ups matter more than people realize.

Education builds better outcomes.

If you have ever had a question about your prosthesis, feel free to comment below or send us a message. We’re here on Facebook to help and will respond as soon as possible!

From our archives, a look at the care, skill, and teamwork that have shaped our journey for over a decade. Ten years ago in the workshop, passion for helping people move was at the heart of everything we did, as it still is today 🩷

Our thoughts and prayers are with Bhante Dam Phommasan and his sangha following the recent accident. As the group continues their journey without some of their injured members, let’s keep them in our hearts, pray for their safety, and support their recovery in any way we can.

📌 Announcement – Update on Bhante Dam Phommasan (December 3, 2025)

We are grateful to share that Bhante Dam Phommasan’s surgery to remove his leg has been successfully completed this morning. He is now resting comfortably under medical care and beginning the healing process.

🦾 What’s Inside a Prosthetic Leg?

A prosthetic leg is more than just a foot. It is designed for comfort, stability, and movement. Here are the main parts:

Socket and Liner – Fit and cushion for the residual limb.
Pylon – The frame that connects the leg to the foot.
Foot or Terminal Device – Helps you walk, run, or move naturally.
Optional – Knee joint for above-knee prosthetics and cosmetic covers.

💡 Did you know?
Some modern prosthetic feet store and release energy, helping users move more naturally and even run.

Every piece works together to make walking feel seamless.

📣 Question: Which part of a prosthetic leg do you find the most fascinating and why?

Prosthetics have come a long way, but much of that progress was driven by necessity. After the First World War, the number of amputees created an urgent need for better design and mobility.” ABC News, Clare Rawlinson

Read the full article here: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-21/how-war-amputees-drove-the-prosthetics-industry/7342626

Reading about how war amputees shaped the prosthetics industry reminds us how deeply innovation is tied to human resilience. Every advancement in this field started with someone who refused to stop moving forward.

That’s why it’s so important to keep improving, keep listening, and keep creating tools that help people live fully and move freely.

🦿 Because prosthetics aren’t just technology, they are a testament to strength and adaptation.

An amputation is no longer the life sentence it was after World War I thanks to dramatic advances in prosthetic technology.
