Amputee Rehabilitation
Treatment and strategies to help individuals with limb loss
Kessler Rehabilitation Center focuses on the needs and goals of those impacted by upper and lower extremity limb loss. Our team is passionate about building trust and providing care to children and adults in a positive, healing environment.
Your care begins with a conversation about your individual needs, whether that be pre-prosthetic management or training. Our experienced licensed physical and/or occupational therapists then tailor a treatment plan to target strength, balance, prosthetic gait training and other specific challenges. Our goal is help you achieve your greatest level of comfort, confidence and independence.
