We’re proud to celebrate our very own John Cooper, PTA at HPRC Physical Therapy, who was recently featured on the Limbloss Connection: The Next Step podcast.
In Episode 19: Rebuilding Strength: Inside the Work of a Physiotherapist Assistant (PTA), host Kevin Gray sits down with John to explore his work in lower extremity recovery and amputee rehabilitation. Based in Columbus, Georgia, John shares his passion for helping patients regain strength, mobility, and confidence after limb loss.
Inside the Episode
During the conversation, John highlights the essential role of collaboration between physiotherapists and prosthetists, as well as the unique contributions PTAs make in patient care. He also dives into:
- How home exercise programs can support long-term progress
- The importance of emotional encouragement throughout recovery
- Ways physical therapy empowers patients to regain independence
John’s insights are valuable not only for patients navigating recovery, but also for professionals committed to supporting the limb loss community.
