At Mountain Land, we understand that every patient living with a residual limb after amputation has a unique path to recovery. Our expert Physical Therapists will work with you to understand safe movements and to determine what exercises will work best to achieve your goals. While your life and body may be different after amputation, our team will help to provide interventions to improve strength, range of motion, and function so that you can get back to doing the things you love!

- Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Training: Our therapists will work with you to develop skills to perform daily activities such as dressing, bathing, and cooking, with or without assistive devices.
