Amputee Coaching Sessions

Let’s build your success story—one confident step at a time.

Losing a leg—especially above the knee—is life-altering. But it doesn’t have to mean giving up your independence, mobility, or the activities you love. Whether you’re newly amputated or years into your prosthetic journey, you may find yourself struggling with more than just walking. Socket pain, instability, skin irritation, and frustration with your prosthesis can make everyday life feel like an uphill battle.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. That’s where Amputee Coaching comes in.

I’m Lynn DeCola, and I help lower limb amputees—especially above-knee amputees—overcome common challenges and take control of their prosthetic success. My mission is simple: to help you walk better, feel better, and live stronger.

Why Amputee Coaching?

Every amputee’s journey is different. Some people struggle with poor socket fit, while others deal with painful skin breakdowns or balance issues. If you’re not sure how to communicate effectively with your prosthetist, feel overwhelmed by your options, or are simply tired of being uncomfortable, one-on-one coaching can make all the difference.

As your coach, I help you:

• Communicate clearly with your prosthetist so you get the adjustments and solutions you need
• Troubleshoot socket problems, such as pinching, pressure points, and poor suspension
• Address painful issues like skin breakdown, blisters, and ingrown hairs before they become serious
• Improve your gait and posture to reduce fatigue and avoid long-term damage
• Understand prosthetic components, like knees and feet, so you can make informed decisions
• Regain your confidence and freedom to return to walking, working, traveling, or playing with your grandkids

Above-knee amputees, in particular, face complex challenges. Getting used to a prosthetic knee requires time, patience, and the right training. Many struggle with instability, fear of falling, or pain from a poorly aligned socket. Others feel overwhelmed by the trial-and-error process of getting their prosthesis to work well with their body. My coaching can help shorten that learning curve—and help you feel strong and capable again.

Why Work With Me?

Because I’ve walked in your shoes—and I’ve spent decades helping others do the same.

I became a lower limb amputee after surviving a near-fatal accident. I know how isolating, frustrating, and painful the early days can be. But I also bring more than 30 years of experience as a Certified and Licensed Prosthetist (CPO, LPO). I’ve helped thousands of amputees, from first-time wearers to experienced users, manage everything from socket fit to skin care to walking with confidence.

That dual perspective—as a patient and as a prosthetic expert—makes my coaching unique. I understand how every component in your prosthesis works together, and more importantly, how it impacts your comfort, mobility, and independence.

What Makes Amputee Coaching Different?

If you’ve searched for help with:

• “socket fit problems for amputees”
• “how to walk with a prosthetic leg”
• “above-knee prosthesis discomfort”
• “how to fix skin problems from prosthetic leg”
• “best way to talk to my prosthetist”
• “life after amputation support”

You’re in the right place.

Unlike clinics or rehab centers that treat you as a number, I provide personalized, private coaching—tailored to your goals, schedule, and challenges. We focus on solving the problems that hold you back and giving you the tools to move forward with strength and clarity.
