Whether you are starting your journey towards becoming healthy and fit or you are an athlete looking to PR in your next race, there is something here for everyone.
This video series is designed for below the knee (BK) and above the knee (AK) amputees. There are adapted exercises for arm and leg strength, core, balance and flexibility. Each of these sets of exercises is further categorized into Phases I (beginner), II (intermediate), and III (advanced) levels. This allows you to customize your program according to your needs!
It’s time to get to work. A Strong Body comes from having strong muscles, strong balance and coordination, and good flexibility.

If you are starting out your journey in recovering from amputation, I have to mention there is no substitute for a good physical therapist. Part of my work is helping folks to understand the benefits of receiving a proper rehabilitation program.
That being said, this book, while designed to be a fitness program, was created by a physical therapist (me!). Therefore, its structure and language are similar as to what you may already be hearing (hopefully) from your PT. Use these exercises as a support to go along with your physical therapy program. Share this book with your PT and you’ll see their eyes light up because they will be able to indicate to you which exercises are best suited for you at this point in time!
If you would like to meet with me one on one to discuss your fitness goals and how you can structure your program, you can schedule a virtual appointment with me! We will not only go over your goals, but also how to select the correct exercises according to your current fitness level and how to progress you from there!
