Amputee Residential Rehabilitation
Under the guidance of our interdisciplinary team of experts, clients benefit from intensive amputee rehabilitation programmes designed to meet their individual needs and goals.

A key advantage at STEPS Rehabilitation is our onsite workshop and specialist prosthetic manufacturing facility, located less than a mile away.
