About Palanca

The mission at Palanca is to provide specialized care to individuals who have had an
amputation/limb loss in order to regain their mobility through the use of their prosthetic device(s).

In choosing Palanca for your rehabilitation needs, you will meet personally with Cosi for an introductory session, which includes a full-body initial assessment. Whether your goals involve simply achieving better mobility around the house, or pushing the limits of performance including running and competitive athletics, Cosi will then work together with you to form a structured plan that will change and adapt as you do. At Palanca, our success is determined by yours. Let us be your launching point to bigger and better things.

Cosi Belloso’s dedication to working with amputees started during her formative years working as a newly-graduated PT under the mentorship of Curtis Clark at Jackson Memorial Hospital (JMH). Within the setting of JMH’s world-class facilities, she became familiar with the special challenges facing people with limb loss/ deficiencies, from Symmes patients to bilateral above knee amputees. She found her passion in helping these individuals from the immediate pre and post-op care period all the way to full independence with their prosthetics legs. Away from the professional arena, Cosi is also a proud wife and mother to four children. In her spare time she enjoys performing the violin, running races for doughnuts, and cooking for her family and friends.
