Mental Health Matters.

Today is Bell Let's Talk Day and we want to take the opportunity to reflect on the importance of mental health. For many of our patients, mobility and mental wellness can be deeply connected.

The ability to move freely, regain independence, and participate in daily activities doesn't just improve a person's physical health; it can also have a profound impact on their mental and emotional well-being.

Our work in prosthetics and orthotics is about more than just muscles and bones. It is also about supporting confidence, restoring independence and improving the overall quality of life for each of our patients.

So, today and every day, let's continue to break the stigma, support each other, and continue having open conversations about mental health!

✨ Congratulations are in order!

WinPO is proud to recognize Shayne Corpuz on officially becoming a fully Registered Orthotic Technician RTO(c) with Orthotics Prosthetics Canada.

This milestone reflects years of dedication, including the completion of 6,900 hours of internship and the successful challenge of both the national written and practical board exams — no small feat!

From her first introduction to orthotics to embracing a hands-on, custom-focused career, Shayne's commitment to growth and patient care truly shines. We are so excited to see where this next chapter takes her!

👏 Join us in congratulating Shayne on achieving this milestone!

Finding shoes that work well with your prosthesis can be a challenge—and you’re definitely not alone. The wrong footwear can affect your comfort, posture, and even your safety, so it’s worth taking the time to choose wisely.

Here are some tips for picking the right shoes - if you require assistance, don't hesitate to contact our team.

Let’s Talk About DFUs

DFU stands for Diabetic Foot Ulcers—open sores or wounds that develop as a result of nerve damage and repeated pressure on the feet. They often go unnoticed until they become serious. We are always here to help, but we would rather they not happen at all for you because they can be very painful.

The way to manage them includes focus on managing pressure, circulation, and infection around the wound. Careful consideration of footwear, walking boots, and custom orthotic support is required.

Did you know that up to 40% of DFUs recur within a year? That’s why long-term care is essential. Consistently wearing your prescribed orthoses and using protective footwear is key to reducing the risk of recurrence and keeping your feet healthy.

If you have any questions, we can help!

The holidays can be hectic for anyone but if this is your first holiday after an amputation, or you’re adjusting to a new prosthetic device, we know that even familiar tasks and travel can feel overwhelming.

Checkins help keep your prosthesis fitting well and functioning its best. It is good practice to re-evaluate your needs every 6 months.
However, you should also book an appointment sooner if:

- You’re feeling pain or discomfort in your residual limb
- You’ve gained or lost even 10 lbs
- Your activity level has changed
- Your liner is showing signs of wear
- There’s visible damage to your prosthesis

Staying ahead of small issues helps prevent bigger problems later.

Need a check-in? We’re here to help.

Here's to a Brand New Year!

We took some time off over the holiday season to relax and recharge with our family and friends. We hope you were able to do the same!

As we move into 2026, let’s focus on what we can control and what matters most: your health!

If moving better is one of your goals this year, we’re here to help. Improved mobility can have a positive ripple effect across your life, supporting your physical health, resilience, independence, confidence, and overall quality of life.

Make your health a priority in 2026 - and let’s get you moving better, together. 🚶‍♂️✨

🎉 Happy New Year!

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on all that we’ve achieved together. This year has been full of milestones—patients reaching goals, breakthroughs in mobility, and countless moments of independence and confidence.

At WinPO, our mission remains the same: helping our clients regain their mobility and independence. Every step forward—whether it’s a new prosthetic, a custom orthotic, or a small victory in daily life—is worth celebrating.

As we look ahead to 2026, we’re excited to continue supporting you, innovating, and sharing more moments of progress and joy. Thank you for letting us be part of your journey.

Here’s to a new year full of movement, confidence, and connection! Happy New Year!

Whew, we’ve made it through the holidays… 🎄✨

We all know that while the season is often known as “the most wonderful time of the year”, it can also be pure chaos. Between parties, gift shopping, work deadlines, and family obligations, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or even empty - whether you are using a prosthesis or not! Here's something to not forget - you cannot give to others if you have nothing to give.

The secret to surviving (and even thriving) this season? Prioritize yourself.
