FAQs
First Steps is for anyone who has had an amputation recently and is navigating recovery at home. It's also for the family member or caregiver supporting them. Many caregivers are the ones who join this program. We suggest this program is done by the caregiver and patient side-by-side.
Yes, and you're exactly who this program is designed for. You don't need to wait until you're further along in recovery. Week 1 of the program begins with wound care — how to clean and bandage correctly, what to watch for, and how to support healing from day one.
First Steps is designed to support, not replace, the care you receive from your doctors. While the program's guidance has been reviewed by healthcare professionals, every recovery journey is different. For condition-specific advice, you can request a 1:1 consultation with our medical team.
Yes. Your privacy matters to us. Any information you share is kept confidential, stored in compliance with the DPDP Act, and will never be shared without your consent. You're also free to leave the program at any time, no questions asked.
Yes, absolutely — and we really hope they do. Recovery is hard on caregivers in ways that often go unacknowledged. The program includes a dedicated Care Kit with guidance on how to lift and support safely, how to manage the home during recovery, and how to take care of their own wellbeing through it all. They can join the same batch as you.
Not at all. The Week-8 assessment is something we offer because we want to see you step forward, not because we want to sell you something. It's a genuine check-in with our team to answer your questions, review your progress, and talk through your options honestly. There is no pressure, no obligation, and no sales pitch. Only when you feel ready, and only if it's right for you.
Everything is delivered through WhatsApp. You'll receive access to the full program from Day 1, followed by weekly reminders to help you stay on track. If there are live sessions, we'll also send joining links and details so you can ask questions and learn directly from our experts.
Recovery has a path.
We'll walk it with you.
An 8-week program designed to support your recovery through movement, wellbeing, and expert guidance.
