    About the Center

    Israel's only amputee support organization, growing into a dedicated home.

    The Next Step is Israel's only organization dedicated exclusively to supporting amputees and their families. To meet growing demand, The Next Step Empowerment Center is being created as a central hub for rehabilitation, empowerment, and long-term community support.

    The center brings existing and newly developed programs under one roof so participants can access therapy, adaptive movement, emotional support, and connection in one thoughtfully designed environment.

    Three Integrated Tracks

    The center brings together everything we do under one roof.

    Program 01

    Walk Again

    Walk Again emphasizes restoring mobility and independence. Proper gait training, physical therapy, and occupational therapy are critical for amputees learning to move confidently with a prosthetic limb.

    Gait Training

    Trained specialists work one-on-one with participants to create personalized gait training plans, including posture correction, strengthening exercises, and guided walking routines to enhance control and reduce pain.

    Physical Therapy

    Tailored exercises to improve core strength, flexibility, and muscle control. Through regular sessions, participants regain physical capacity and reduce their risk of secondary injuries.

    Occupational Therapy

    Helping participants regain independence in daily life activities like dressing, cooking, and maneuvering around their home and workplace with practical strategies and adaptive techniques.
