Focused Amputee Physical Therapy & Limb Loss Physical Therapy
Our Amputee Physical Therapy and Limb Loss Physical Therapy offerings are rooted in evidence-based, goal-driven interventions:
- Stump and wound care techniques ensure healthy healing while optimizing comfort and socket fit
- Targeted strength and balance training, including resistance-based methods to combat atrophy and improve gait symmetry
- Range-of-motion and postural exercises that set the stage for efficient prosthetic use and upright posture
- Neuromuscular re-education, which readies the body for new movement patterns and reduces compensatory injuries
- Mobility drills, including transfers, stair navigation, and advanced maneuvers with or without a prosthesis
Warm, individualized therapy—typically 3-5 sessions per week—helps restore not only physical capacity, but also confidence and independence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between amputee physical therapy and limb loss physical therapy?
There’s no real difference—they’re interchangeable terms that describe rehab designed specifically for individuals adjusting to limb loss, with a focus on stump care, strength, balance, prosthetics, and emotional well-being.
How soon after amputation can physical therapy begin?
Therapy often begins within a week after surgery, focusing initially on wound healing, gentle movement, and strengthening. Once you're medically ready, prosthetic training typically follows in a staged approach.
How long does the full amputation rehabilitation process take?
Recovery varies depending on health status, level of amputation, and personal goals. Initial healing may take several weeks, with full prosthetic integration often requiring 3–6 months or more. However, consistent rehab accelerates outcomes.
Can I receive prosthetic training on-site at FYZICAL Coral Springs?
Absolutely. Our experienced team conducts personalized prosthetic training sessions right at our Coral Springs facility, and offers remote follow-ups for long-term progress.
Does my insurance cover amputee physical therapy and prosthetic training?
Most insurance plans—including Medicare—cover medically necessary physical therapy and prosthetic services. We’ll support you through documentation and approval to lower costs.
Will I be able to resume sports or hobbies after rehabilitation?
Yes! Whether it’s returning to gardening, swimming, cycling, yoga, or golf, our goal is to help you achieve full participation in the activities you love.
