Throwback to 2021......holding my son after graduation.

No one in this photo sees the hard conversations.
The pain days.
The frustration.
The “why me?” moments.

But they’re all part of the story.

And here’s the truth: being an amputee doesn’t disqualify you from being a present father, a proud parent, or a steady leader in your family.

If anything, it sharpens you.

To every amputee parent in this group your kids aren’t watching what you lost. They’re watching how you respond.

And that matters more than anything.

As a baby's head continues to grow, precise and routine adjustments are essential to the success of treatment.

In this video, Brad is carefully modifying the cranial remolding orthosis to:

• Allow growth in areas that need correction.
•Limit growth in areas that have already achieved ideal. shape.

That balance is what guides proper head shape development over time.

Cranial remolding is a process and experience matters. Our team closely monitors growth at every visit to ensure each adjustment supports the best possible outcome.

Brian makes it look easy… but anyone living this life knows it’s not.

In this short video, Brian shows a few of the everyday things he can do with his below-elbow prosthesis. No hype. No “inspiration porn.” Just skill, practice, and putting in the work.

This is what progress actually looks like: learning your device, trusting it, and using it to get your independence back one task at a time.

Huge respect to Brian for showing what’s possible—and for reminding new amputees that capability doesn’t disappear, it just gets re-engineered.

If you’re early in your journey, this is your reminder: you’re not stuck… you’re just getting started.

Details matter—especially in orthotics.

In this video, Kevin, CPO, in our Niles office is performing a cast modification for an AFO. This step is critical for getting the shape, alignment, and pressure relief right before fabrication even begins.

Good orthotic outcomes don’t happen by accident. They’re built through careful assessment, precise modifications, and experience you can trust.

This is what patient-focused orthotic care looks like behind the scenes.

Roy says it straight: physical therapy matters.

Prosthetics are only part of the equation. The real progress happens in PT—showing up, doing the work, repeating the boring stuff, and stacking small wins until they turn into big ones.

Recovery isn’t magic. It’s effort, consistency, and the right support team around you.

Roy’s proof that when you take PT seriously, it pays off. Keep grinding, Roy. That work shows.

Roy said it himself—he’s grateful he found Leimkuehler and thankful for the support along the way.

That means everything to our team.

We’re proud to walk beside our patients through the hard days, the progress days, and every step in between. Keep going, Roy. You’re doing the work—and it shows.
