Transtibial Amputee

“An amputee from birth, I have experienced many changes in the world of prosthetics.

Receiving my first leg as a 1 year-old I learnt to walk on a sash foot, being an active kid with a desire to keep up with my friends resulted in many trips back to the ‘leg place’ to get my leg fixed.

Over the years I developed a passion for sport which would see me compete at three Paralympics Games, four World Championships, two world cups and a Commonwealth Games. To be the best I would seek the best coaches and support staff, the same applied to my legs. I looked to use the top of the range equipment knowing it would help me achieve my goals, fortunately for me Ossur share that same passion for excellence ensuring amputees have a life without limitations.

A successful outcome is more than just having the right product, you need to know how to use it and be comfortable and confident with the fit, David Howells and the team at APC Prosthetics were the glue that brought it all together.

The team at APC Prosthetics not only helped me achieve my goals as an athlete but ensured I could function at my best day to day following my sporting career.

Having undertaken my greatest challenge to date, completing the Kokoda Track in 2016 I now look to future with excitement and an appetite for more adventure.

As an interstate client it’s very convenient for me to fly in to Sydney and be able to walk from the airport to APC Prosthetics new Alexandria clinic.”
