Share Your Story of Orthopaedic Recovery

 

Did you know one in four Americans suffers from an impairment that impacts their ability to move?  We often take everyday activities for granted until something goes wrong.  Orthopedic surgeons understand bone and joint health issues and dedicate their abilities to helping those who have lost mobility regain it back and be free to enjoy every stage of life.

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) has created a national campaign called A Nation in Motion, which shares stories of over 600 patients, whose lives have been saved or restored through high-quality orthopedic care.  AAOS is on a mission to share these stories, in hopes of encouraging all orthopedic patients to follow suit.  “Through our work, we strive to provide our patients with high-quality care that keeps them and our country “A Nation in Motion.” 

Along with AAOS’s amazing efforts to keep bodies in motion, CastCoverz!‘s mission is to bring relief and comfort to orthopedic patients by providing fun, fashionable, AND functional products; such as cast, brace & splint covers, walking boot covers, designer colored crutches and CrutchWear crutch accessories, in addition to companion products that provide waterproof protection and relief from itch and smell.

Feel Better, Heal Better with CastCoverz! and visit A Nation in Motion’s website to share your story of recovery and what you are able to do because of your orthopedic care.  Whether you are a patient, provider, or orthopedic surgeon, we want to hear your personal story or that of one of your patients.

Joaquin Consuelos

Joaquin Consuelos, Kelly Ripa’s son, had surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery on his broken finger. CastCoverz! sent a care package for Joaquin to Kelly’s show LIVE! with Kelly and Michael.  He received the CastShield, a waterproof cast cover for bathing/showering, a custom Armz! cast cover in “Wicked Webs”, and a Slingz! arm sling in “The Hand Bone’s Connected to…” just in time for Halloween!

Waterproof product CastShield was a hit!  She loves it so much, she even made a quick video about it!  Personally, we love the clapping in the background! Woo-Hoo!  Check out the video here: http://www.tout.com/m/px04h6?ref=twxz8krw   

“Thanks CastCoverz! for Joaquin’s cast cover!” 

Super Summer Cast Cover Review

While we never like to hear that any child has broken bones, we are relieved when our CastCoverz! products can come to aid and truly help deliver our “Feel Better, Heal Better” mantra.

Jessie Lucas, writer, photographer and mom wrote an amazing (hugz to you Jessie!) blog post where she reviewed our cast covers on the Eighty MPH Mom blog.

Three days before a vacation in Daytona Beach, Jessie’s 7 year old daughter ended up in a cast (UGH!)
Here are some darling pics of her little cutie wearing our “Cupcake Cuties” Armz! cast cover!

You can read the full CastCoverz! Review on the Eighty MPH Mom blog.

Your review made our day!  So glad we could help be a summer cast cover solution.  We agree…wishing the review would have happened sooner, so your daughter could have enjoyed more of summer with our waterproof cast covers!

Keeping Our Children Safe and Break Free

As back-to-school time is arriving, keeping our children safe during summer activities, especially avoiding broken bones is at the top of any parent’s list.  Annette d. Giacomazzi, Founder and Owner of CastCoverz!, is an expert when it comes to broken bones (and avoiding them!)  She has provided some helpful advice on how to keep kids break-free, in their latest press release “Help the Kids Stay Break-Free This Summer.”

Did you know thousands of children are treated for playground related injuries each year?  The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons considers these numbers alarming enough to provide the following playground safety tips, in their press release “How Safe is Your Child’s Playground?

CastCoverz! provides functional and fashionable products designed to cover casts, orthotic walking boots, splints and braces, and companion products; such as CastCooler, DryPro, and CastShield, to bring relief and comfort to orthopedic patients.

In addition to keeping our kids safe during summer activities and on playgrounds specifically, going to and from school and staying safe while at school are just as important!  School is where children spend the majority of their time, outside of their own home; thus, the National Crime Prevention Council has provided some advice for parents on making sure their kids stay safe at school and while traveling to and from, in “What Parents Can Do to Keep Kids Safe at School.”

As a parent, we all strive to keep our children as safe as possible.  With resources available to us, like those above, keeping our children safe is a very attainable goal!
