Today marks the beginning of a very special month for our sister brands within the Select Medical Outpatient Division family of brands.
National Physical Therapy Month (NPTM) hosted by the American Physical Therapy Association, recognizes the important role physical therapists and physical therapist assistant play in the rehabilitation process.
We are grateful for the collaborative effort we have with physical therapists to ensure our patients receive the care they need. #NPTM2020
Lamont became a patient at our POSI center in Marlton, NJ in order to get a running foot, secondary to his every day prosthesis. Yuke Kee Ishikawa, CPO, worked with the Challenged Athlete Foundation (CAF) and their grant program to help Lamont’s family apply for a grant that would provide him with the foot he needed; the Ossur Flex-Run Jr. with Nike Sole. CAF approved the grant and POSI delivered the perfect foot.
Lamont loves to ride his bike, play basketball and recently took up karate. Thanks to his new secondary foot, he’ll continue to participate in his favorite activities.
Keep it up, Lamont! Hi-ya!

Despite becoming an amputee 20 years ago, Mike is competitive in state softball and an active outdoorsman. Thanks to being somewhat retired, he’s able to spend more time competing and was named the 2020 Wisconsin State Champion for the National Field Archery Association.
Marty Ryan, LCP, FAAOP, worked with Mike at our Fond du Lac center to provide a below-knee prosthesis with Condylar suspension and energy storing foot. This foot is specifically designed to provide high energy return in activities like walking, running or agility driven exercise. This allows Mike to be confident and efficient in all of his adventures.
We are proud of you, Mike, for your accomplishments! Please join us in congratulating him in the comments below.

Matthew came to our Marion, IL center to work with Tom Reece, C.P., COA, L.P., due to an ill-fitting socket from lost volume of his limb. Tom was able to provide Matthew with a new socket that has a Coyote air lock with the release button on the outside. This is an important feature for Matthew since he loves to ride and rebuild motorcycles and didn’t want the release button pressing against his bike. He also uses an Ossur ProFlex SC foot.
Thanks to a properly fitting and custom socket, now Matthew can continue to ride like the wind!
