Meet our coaches
Full Circle Movement’s aim is to get a group of amputees together to discover their unlimited potential through education, coaching and social support. Three attendees from our most-recent event pursued and received a new running prosthesis after trying one for the first time. Participants who do not trial a running blade can expect to improve their confidence and balance with their walking prosthesis.
