What do People say about our Amputee Fitness and Exercise Clinics?

Ken Davis said that the Amputee Fitness Clinics were very informative and that he learned a lot. He plans to attend most of them in the future. Ken was happy to hear that each clinic would be different with new information presented every time. He thought that Dave Mc Granahan did a good job at the Fitness Clinic and liked how open-minded he was. Ken said that Dave was not afraid to show what he knew and that he really wants to help you. Ken liked learning about new prosthetic components such as shock absorbers from Vern Swanson, Certified Prosthetist.

David Lybarger would definitely recommend the Amputee Fitness Clinics to other amputees. He learned several new exercises for fitness and about new prosthetic designs and products. Dave also enjoyed the contact with other amputees and being able to interact with them. Dave said that the Amputee Fitness Clinics are an excellent fitness resource for below knee and above knee amputees.

Billy Hamilton said that the Amputee Fitness Clinics offered a lot of information to learn and to be shared. He felt that amputees who do not attend to the clinics are really missing out. Billy liked how the YMCA allowed the Fitness Clinic to use their facilities for the program. He also stated that the Amputee Fitness Clinics provide an excellent network for amputees.

Billy went on to say that Vern Swanson did a thorough job of presenting what components are available for prosthetic limbs. This educates amputees about what types of prostheses are needed to have a more active lifestyle. Otherwise, amputees may not know what is available the next time they get fit with a new prosthesis. He added, Vern keeps his patients very informed. He educates them about the best prosthesis suited for their needs.
