Cosi Belloso, a physical therapist who fell into the world of orthotics and prosthetics by chance, shares her insights, it's clear that the journey of amputation recovery is a tapestry woven of many threads. She stresses the significance of early physical therapy, debunking myths about mobility predictions and shining a light on the comprehensive care that goes beyond the limb itself. Cosi's accidental path led to profound realizations about patient empowerment and education, which she now advocates through her show "Cosi Talks."

The road to rehabilitation may be paved with challenges, but it's the human spirit that lays the bricks. We uncover how motivation, paired with an orchestra of interdisciplinary communication, can lead to remarkable recoveries that defy expectations. Through anecdotes and experiences, we learn that every amputee's journey starts with a challenge, but it's the tailored coping strategies and unwavering support from healthcare professionals that can lead to extraordinary achievements. Cosi reveals the profound impact of empathy, patient education, and the art of choosing the right prosthetist on an amputee's path to reclaiming life.
