In the fitting room, you hear French, Italian, English, and German spoken and topics of conversation are varied.
Now that the prosthesis has been adjusted, it is time for fitting - the moment of suspense has arrived.
Everybody hopes that the prosthesis is a good fit.
Fitting the prosthesis
"It's all about being available and approachable"
They listen, they provide reassurance, they smile, they wait ....
Time, tiredness, pressure: none of these matter any more ...
Only the goal is important :
"The client has to feel comfortable with the prosthesis".
"Yes, I really quite like the colour !
I'm hoping to go to the beach ... on holiday.
Normally I get up at 5 in the morning. I take the train from Moutier to Berne to go to work in a bookshop. I'm on my feet all day, plus there's lots of stairs to climb.
My problems ended the day I contacted Botta. I can't describe their technique but it's the opposite of what the others do. What's more, I've had the same prosthesis for 6 years. And the problem's been with me since I was 13 !"

"I'm heading back to Rome tonight ...
I walk a lot, I go to the university, I make the most of every moment in the day, thanks to my prosthesis.
How ?
"So I have to walk more slowly for the photo. OK !!!"
Enrica
"The knee seems to be making some noise, but I'm feeling fine ...
When you arrive at Botta, it's as if all your problems just disappear ..."
Nyima
"I hate having to come when it's hot. Plus, I'm in pain ...
So it's partly my fault that I'm often having to refit the prosthesis.
Still, it's only once or twice a year.
And afterwards I can drive along Italian roads, which are generally in a much worse state than in Switzerland.
.Botta always manages to come up with a solution !".
