Assisting Amputees to live as independent a life as possible
“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”
– Nelson Mandela
Reclaiming Independence, One Step at a Time
Vision
To support amputees in becoming self-sufficient members of society through comprehensive rehabilitation services, and to advocate for policy change to ensure that these services are available to all.
Mission
Zimele’s interdisciplinary team of health professionals will provide prosthetic fitting and physical and psychological rehabilitation services for amputees from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds, and will aid in their social integration through access to skills training and work opportunities.
What We Offer
Pain Management
Our team will address the separate issues of pain and phantom pain/sensation management.
Strength Training
A very important area that our team addresses is strength training pre and post amputation.
Home & Work Adaptions
We assist with advice on home and work adaptations. Our team will also liaise with employers, to help facilitate our client’s return to work.
Counselling
We offer psychological counselling and trauma debriefing.
Prosthetic Advice
Our team provides advice on prosthetics: what’s available and what is required in order to meet an individual’s specific needs.
Gait Training
We assist with gait training once an amputee’s prosthesis has been fitted.
