For Amputees

Your Journey with Blatchford

Adjusting to life after amputation is a personal journey, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way. From expert advice on choosing a prosthetic to emotional support, Blatchford is dedicated to empowering you with the tools and knowledge to thrive.

So, what's the process?

  • Whether you are a transfemoral amputee or transtibial amputee your rehabilitation journey should ideally start BEFORE the amputation. Find out where the rehabilitation location is and call to ask to meet the team before your surgery.

  • You have choices! Talk to your prosthetist about the different product options available to you and ensure the product you are prescribed meets your post amputation goals - there are a variety of Blatchford prosthetic solutions for amputees at different mobility levels.

  • Speak to your Counsellor. Your MDT team will be made up of various professions including a counsellor. Ensure that you spend time with them, it may be helpful to make a note of any questions, or issues that may be bothering you in advance of your surgery.

  • Remember to reach out to the amputee community for advice and guidance. Facebook groups can be a great resource, as well as Blatchford’s Ambassadors of Mobility (Blatchford volunteers whose mission is to help others who have also experienced lower limb loss).

  • DO NOT miss your physical therapy appointments unless you are ill and contagious. By missing PT, you will set yourself back in your healing journey.
