POP Month 2025: Celebrating the Experts Who Keep You Moving
March is a special time in the world of prosthetics and orthotics—it’s POP Month! 🎉 This month is all about honoring the passionate, skilled professionals who help people regain and maintain their freedom of movement every day. Whether you're a patient, a caregiver, or someone curious about a career in this life-changing field, we want to take a moment to celebrate the people behind your mobility.
What Is POP Month?
POP stands for Prosthetist, Orthotist, and Pedorthist—the experts who design, build, and fit the devices that help people move more freely and comfortably. These professionals don’t just create prosthetic legs or custom braces—they listen, problem-solve, and support you every step of the way. They help individuals get back to the activities they love, whether it’s walking the dog, running a marathon, or simply feeling more stable on their feet.
At Ottobock.care, we see firsthand how dedicated these professionals are. They work closely with patients every day, celebrating victories big and small, from the first steps with a new prosthesis to achieving long-term mobility goals. And that’s why POP Month is so important—because their work changes lives.
Why O&P Professionals Matter
🦿 For Patients & Caregivers: If you or a loved one has ever worked with a prosthetist or orthotist, you know how much of a difference they make. They customize every solution to fit each person’s unique needs, ensuring comfort, function, and confidence.
👩⚕️ For Future O&P Professionals: If you’ve ever thought about a career where you can directly change lives, this is it. O&P is a field that combines science, craftsmanship, and human connection—you get to be part of someone’s journey to more independence every single day.
💙 For the Community: O&P professionals don’t just work in clinics—they are also behind the scenes at events like the Paralympic Games and Invictus Games, making sure athletes have access to the best possible mobility solutions when they need them most. Their impact is global.
