It all started 6.5 years ago with shooting pains in my leg. For four years, doctors were unable to provide the correct diagnosis. Then, two years ago, a traumatologist referred me for an MRI, and oncology was found. I refused treatment, but since the winter of 2019, the disease began to progress, and in November 2019, I had to have my leg amputated…

Sports have been a part of my life since school. In fifth grade, I was selected for a basketball team, and by pursuing it professionally, I became a Master of Sport. In my youth, I traveled from the city center to Kotovskyi Settlement (Odesa) twice a day for training sessions, which were held at 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Later, I joined the army, and those one and a half years weren’t wasted either — it’s hard not to stay active in the army, where physical training is a part of daily life (just think about the morning exercises!).

I was approached by Iryna, a marketer from the Center for Prosthetic and Orthopedic Care “Tellus,” with a request to share my experience on “How not to fall into depression after losing a limb.”

Exactly one year has passed since the accident, which resulted in the amputation of my left leg below the knee. On the night of May 8–9, 2019, I had a bit too much port wine and thought a night ride through St. Petersburg would be a good idea. I was wrong! They say the only people who never make mistakes are those who never try, but in this case, it would have been better not to try. I exceeded the speed limit and couldn’t handle the turn…

Today, we will tell the story of an amazing person who was inspired to become a doctor by an injury he sustained. Vitalii is 41 years old, born and living in the tourist city of Odesa…

My name is Liubov, and I am a doctor at a military hospital. My story began romantically and thrillingly — with mountains, cliffs, and competitions! It was further fueled by equally impressive 100-kilometer runs in 24 hours along the Glory Belt (Odesa)! And ahead were always new peaks to conquer…

A car accident in May 2012 divided my life into “before” and “after.” “Before” was my own business, working 24/7. Sometimes I managed to take a break, but even then, I was “on the phone” 24/7. There was a catastrophic lack of time for everything: for communicating with loved ones, even my children, for proper rest, and simply for living.

Today, we’re sharing the story of Ruslan. He is an incredibly open, communicative, and positive person. His story is inspiring, highly motivational, and a true example for others. So, let’s dive in…

A client from Zaporizhzhia reached out to the Tellus Center with a request to install a prosthesis with a microprocessor system and entrusted us with its creation. The most crucial step in fitting a prosthesis is verifying the presence of signals. Only when these signals are detected does the process of fitting the prosthesis begin.

We want to introduce you to a wonderful girl, Marta. Marta is studying at Lviv University of Tourism and Economics while also working as a sales manager.

A technician from Ottobock visited the Tellus Center to train our prosthetic technicians on the Harmony system.

The Tellus Center is regularly visited by German specialist Vasyl Volvakov, who works to enhance the qualifications of our staff, improve the technological processes in the production of custom orthopedic footwear, and raise the quality of our products. Vasyl has over 20 years of experience in making footwear and insoles in Germany, including using 3D technology to carve custom lasts.
