Is your child wearing an ankle foot orthosis or AFO?

If so, remember to check your child's skin at least once a day or each time, after you remove their AFO. Any areas of the skin that are red or dark from the AFO (or straps) should disappear within 30 minutes. If these marks do not disappear after 30 minutes, they can become a pressure injury. Pressure injuries can occur anywhere that the AFO touches the skin but most commonly on:
➡️ Ankle bones
➡️ Heel
➡️ Outer edge of the foot
➡️ Along the arch of the foot

If you see any red or dark spots that don't disappear or raw or blistered skin, contact your child's Orthotist as soon as possible. The AFO should be left off until the skin heals or the it has been adjusted.

If you have questions about your child's AFO, never hesitate to reach out to our team!

Today, we remember.
We remember the bravery and sacrifice of those who served.
We remember the lives lost, the families affected, and the lasting impact of conflict.

We are also reminded of the many who returned home carrying not just memories, but also lasting physical and emotional wounds.

To all of our veterans and active service members - thank you.

Our clinic is closed today in observance. We will reopen tomorrow on Wednesday, November 12th for regular business hours.

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.
