October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 🎀

After breast surgery, there is no single “right” way to feel, look or move forward. Recovery is personal, and so are the choices that can help you feel more comfortable and confident again.

There are different options for different stages of the journey, from lightweight temporary breast forms used during the early healing period, to longer-term breast prostheses, shapers and pocketed bras designed to support your body and lifestyle.
The right solution should never be about simply choosing a product. It should be about what feels right for you, your comfort, your shape and where you are in your recovery.

At Marissa Nel & Associates, we are here to answer your questions, explain the options available and help guide you through a professional fitting when the time is right.

There are options. There is support. And you do not have to navigate them alone. 💗

🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

A breast cancer diagnosis can change so much, so quickly.

There may be appointments, treatment plans, surgery or a mastectomy to navigate and somewhere amongst all of that, you may find yourself asking questions you never imagined you would have to ask:

What do I wear now?
When can I be fitted?
Will I feel comfortable again?
What options are available to me?
Will my body ever feel like my own again?

These questions are personal. They are important. And you don’t have to feel embarrassed or afraid to ask them.

Whether you are in the early stages of healing or further along in your journey, there are options available to support you.

Lightweight temporary breast forms can be used during the early healing period, while longer-term breast prostheses, shapers and pocketed bras are available to suit different bodies, needs and stages of recovery. Proper fitting is important, particularly once healing and swelling have settled, to ensure comfort, confidence and the best possible fit.

At Marissa Nel & Associates, we understand that choosing a breast prosthesis is about so much more than finding the right product. It is about listening to you, understanding where you are in your journey and helping you feel comfortable and confident in your body again in your own time when you feel ready

You don’t have to have all the answers.
You don’t have to navigate this part of your journey alone.

There are options. There is support. There is someone here to listen. And most importantly, there is no “right” way to feel or recover.

One step at a time. One question at a time.
We are here when you are ready. 🎀

Not every patient who comes through our doors is quite what you’d expect. 🐦💙

Meet Oscar, a racing pigeon whose owner, Daryl, came to MNA looking for someone willing to take on a very unusual challenge.
Daryl’s determination to help Oscar move more comfortably says a lot about the kind of owner he is. He could see that Oscar was struggling, and instead of accepting that as “just the way it is,” he kept looking for a solution.
That care, responsibility and commitment to Oscar’s wellbeing did not go unnoticed.
For us, the approach was the same as it is with every patient: understand the individual, assess the challenge carefully, and find a solution that gives them the best possible chance at improved mobility.
With a combination of creativity, careful fitting and 3D technology, the team worked on a custom prosthetic leg designed specifically for Oscar.

We’re proud to have been part of Oscar’s journey, and even more grateful for owners like Daryl who go the extra mile for the animals they love.
Whether they have fur, feathers or four paws, that trust means a great deal to us. 🐾🐦

Your leg. Your style. Your choice.

Every person has their own ideas about how they want their prosthesis to look and feel, and that individuality matters.

For JP, the process starts with listening to what he wants. From there, we use 3D technology to turn those ideas into a custom cover designed specifically around him and his prosthesis.

You share the vision. We help create it.

Because patient-centred care is not only about function. It is also about making sure the person wearing the prosthesis feels comfortable, confident and part of every decision along the way.

Meet Solam 😊

Nine years old. Been apart of the MNA family since February. And according to his mom he absolutely looooooooooooves his standing frame!

Solam has Cerebral Palsy. He also has, by all accounts, the biggest smile in any room he enters and when he is happy, everyone around him knows about it. 💙

His mom came to us not fully aware of what devices and orthotics were available for Solam, or how much they could help. After his fitting, AFOs (Ankle-Foot Orthoses) and a standing frame, she sent a message to our team that stopped us in our tracks!

She said she could see, through the joy Solam expresses when he is upright, just how much he loves standing tall. Seeing the world from a different angle. Being able to look people in the eye. 💛

That is not a small thing. For Solam, that is everything. 🌟

Solam, keep standing tall, little one. We are so glad you found your way to us. 🙏

Did you know?

Children who receive early prosthetic and orthotic intervention often develop stronger motor skills, greater independence and improved long-term outcomes simply because the body adapts more naturally when it is young. 🦾

At Marissa Nel & Associates, our paediatric services include:

Prosthetics - custom-fitted devices designed to restore function and grow with your child
Orthotics - supportive bracing that improves movement, posture and comfort
Personalised guidance - from first assessment through to ongoing care, every step of the way

Every child's journey looks different. Ours is to make sure they have the very best support for theirs. 💙

If you have questions about your child's options, we would love to have that conversation.

Meet Cynthia 💛

Some women walk into a room and change the energy completely. Cynthia is one of them.

She lives with an above-knee amputation and if you spend five minutes with her, that is probably the last thing you will think about. 🌟

Her story is not about what she has lost. It is about who she is and who she continues to become.

Cynthia, we are grateful you chose us to be part of your journey. 🙏
