Sports have given me so much. I see it as my job to share my experience with as many people as possible. The goal is not to turn amputees into top athletes, but to show them how much sports can improve their quality of life – people should participate in sports, not despite, but rather because of a prosthesis."

A weekend dedicated to fun and movement

It all starts on Friday afternoon – lower limb amputees interested in sports meet up to spend the weekend testing out sports prostheses or to improve their running technique on their own equipment. The feel for running will be there faster than you think, and it’s not unusual to hear comments like “I don’t want to take off my sports prosthesis” or “I’ve missed running so much”. 

Things kick off on Friday with a get-to-know-you session, followed by the fitting of our sports prostheses for those who require it. Training begins on Saturday under the guidance of Ottobock certified professionals, who will demonstrate exercises and give you helpful tips in wearing a sports prosthesis. We’ll end the day with a group dinner with a chance for everyone to hang out with one another.  

On Sunday, we’ll finish off the clinic with some specialized training for long-distance running – culminating in a fun competition at the end!
