November is also... Movember. 🧔〰️

Each November, men across the world grow their moustaches to spark conversations around men's health - not just physical health, but also mental well-being and the importance of preventive care.

We work closely with clients navigating significant changes to their bodies. These changes are often more than just physical — they can deeply affect self-esteem, identity, and mental health.

Whether it's adjusting to a prosthesis, managing pain or finding confidence and independence again - you're not alone. This Movember, let’s reach out, check in, and start the conversation — even when it’s tough.

Here's your friendly reminder -
Weather Change = Volume Change

As temperatures drop, limb volume can change.
If your prosthesis suddenly feels loose or tight, it may be due to natural swelling or shrinking from cooler weather. Adjust your socks—or reach out for a fit check.

Stay warm and steady this season!

When your child wears an orthosis, it is not just a device - it is part of their daily life. And you, as a caregiver, play a vital role in making sure it supports them in the best way possible.

Here are a few simple things you can do:

🗣️Explain the Purpose: Help them understand the benefits of wearing their orthosis to foster a sense of responsibility and cooperation

🦿Let them Personalize their Orthosis: Let them choose their own design (we can help with that!) to make it a bit more fun to wear

đź‘€ Skin Check: Look for any redness or pressure spots once a day - especially after play or naps

âš˝ Play is Powerful: Encourage gentle movement and play to help your child stay active, confident, and engaged

đź§Ľ Keep it Clean: Follow your orthotist's cleaning instructions to keep the device clean and working well

Remember - our Orthotics team is here to support you and your child.

Staying flexible and strong helps you move with more ease, stability, and comfort—whether you're walking, standing, or simply lying down.

Here are some safe and effective stretches and strengthening exercises for individuals with a prosthetic leg.

Always check with your Prosthetist (or Physical Therapist) if you have any concerns or before starting something new. Remember, our Prosthetists are always here to help!

Did you know that doing simple stretching exercises every day can make a big difference in how you move—and rest?

Taking time to stretch helps ensure you can fully straighten your knee and hip, which makes walking smoother and even lying in bed more comfortable.

Tight muscles can impact how well your prosthesis or orthosis works—so gentle daily stretching is one small habit that can support your long-term mobility.

Today is National Orthotics & Prosthetics Day in Canada!

Every September 19, we celebrate the clinicians, technicians, and most importantly — the patients — who make up the incredible O&P community.

From restoring mobility and independence to designing cutting-edge custom devices, the work we do is about so much more than limbs — it's about changing lives.
