It’s not just about the results in the arena of sport, but to build your confidence through our clinic program. Heinrich’s philosophy starts with the concept that you are unique, and that acceptance starts with you. That’s why it’s important to us to create a network amongst amputees, family members, friends, clinicians, and therapists at our events! Communicating in between exercises is just as important as the testing of prostheses. Our motto for the weekend is: Come as guests -- leave as friends! 

It all starts on Friday afternoon -- lower limb amputees interested in sports meet up to spend the weekend testing out sports prostheses or to improve their running technique on their own equipment. The feel for running will be there faster than you think, and it’s not uncommon to hear comments like “I don’t want to take off my sports prosthesis” or “I’ve missed running so much”. 

Things kick off on Friday with a get-to-know-you session, followed by the fitting of our sports prostheses for those who require it. Training begins on Saturday under the guidance of Paralympic Champion Heinrich Popow, who will demonstrate exercises and give you helpful tips in wearing a sports prosthesis. We’ll end the day with a group dinner with a chance for everyone to hang out with one another.  

On Sunday, we’ll finish off the clinic with some specialized training for long-distance running -- culminating in a fun competition at the end!
