In this episode, we explore one of the most overlooked—but absolutely essential—skills for everyday life: how to fall safely.

Whether you live with reduced mobility, manage a long‑term condition, or simply want to feel more secure in your body, knowing how to fall with confidence and control can significantly reduce injury and boost your independence.

PT Dan from our Peterborough gym sessions breaks down practical techniques, easy-to-understand body mechanics, that help you stay calmer and more in control when the unexpected happens. We’ll talk about how to protect vulnerable areas and how to work with your body instead of against it.

This episode is all about empowerment, safety, and building confidence—because everyone deserves the tools to stay safe and feel strong, no matter what life throws their way.

In this episode, we chat with Scarlett, Youth Ambassador to the Board, about her journey from getting involved as a young person to having a real voice at board level.

This is a feel-good, inspiring conversation about determination, youth power, and proving that young people can make a huge impact — whether that’s in the boardroom or out on the water.

What we cover (quick skim)

1. Sleep & Recovery — why consistent sleep is the base for mood, pain tolerance and rehab progress; simple fixes like a wind-down alarm and caffeine curfew.
2. Movement & Strength — gentle daily movement to manage pain (including phantom pain), build confidence, and protect joints; chair- and prosthesis-friendly options. LinkedIn
3. Nutrition & Hydration — small, sustainable tweaks (protein with every meal, fruit/veg first, water habit pairing) to support healing and energy.
4. Mindset & Stress — micro-tools for tough days: box breathing, gratitude notes, pacing, and “win of the day” check-ins.
5. Connection & Purpose — peer support, volunteering, and realistic goals to beat isolation and keep rehab meaningful.

In this episode, we shine a light on the incredible work of Steel Bones’ Family Mentors – volunteers who use their own lived experience of limb loss to guide and support others through some of life’s toughest moments.

You’ll hear first-hand stories from our mentors about what the role involves, why they stepped forward to volunteer, and the difference they’ve seen it make for amputees and their families. From offering a listening ear to sharing practical advice, Family Mentors are at the heart of everything we do – ensuring no amputee family ever feels alone.
