Communication

Communication: Essential to Your Success

Tyra and his staff takes a realistic, positive and goal-oriented approach to your rehabilitation, one that begins with communication. The time you spend talking together helps Tyra learn about you and your goals. Whether you want to return to work, to your golf game or simply live independently, what you want your life to be determines much about your prosthetic and or orthotic care.

You’ll also be encouraged to ask lots of questions and get as much information and guidance as possible. The more you know about your prosthesis or orthosis, the more success you’ll have in using it. This emphasis on communication also helps your developing relationship with Tyra — a relationship that he values and one that will benefit you for years to come.

Hope

Hope Starts With Compassion, Support & Information

Everyone responds differently to losing a limb or experiencing an injury.  Some people are able to quickly accept their situation, while others find themselves depressed or feeling hopeless. And of course there are ups and downs. Tyra is here for you through it all, with a deeper understanding of your concerns than you might think possible.
