Little fingers, Big adventures!

From playground mishaps to sports injuries, we help little hands get back to doing what they do best.

Climbing, playing, jumping… little adventures can sometimes lead to little injuries! 🛝🤏

Whether it’s a sprain, fracture or another hand, wrist or elbow injury, our team is here to help our community.

Featuring one of our littlest patients (4yrs) getting a custom finger splint.

🎹 A little something new at the clinic!

You might notice something a little different next time you visit us… we’ve added a piano! 🎶

For patients who already play, the piano can be a great way to incorporate something familiar and enjoyable into their hand therapy. Whether it’s working on finger movement, coordination or dexterity, using an activity you know (such as playing the piano) and love can be a meaningful part of your rehabilitation journey.

Because hand therapy is about more than movement, it’s about getting back to the things you love doing!

With day 1 of Porirua Chocktober Fest starting, what better way to kick things off, than with our friends next door at Local Authority Specialty Coffee Bar right here on the ground floor of the City Fitness building!

We’ve started our Choctober Fest adventure with their “Hokey Pokey Heaven” hot chocolate. Think smooth and creamy hot chocolate, chocolatey goodness and plenty of hokey pokey crunch. It’s basically happiness in a cup!

Welcome to our newest member Rosie.

We are excited to welcome Rosie to our team, an Occupational Therapist from the UK, with a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from Plymouth University. Rosie will be joining us full time as an Associate Therapist Monday to Friday and is currently working towards registration with Hand Therapy New Zealand.

Rosie has worked on rotation covering A&E, General Medicine, Neurosurgery and Stroke Rehab and most recently, in the Brain Injury Unit before starting her Hand Therapy journey.

When Rosie is not in the clinic, you’ll likely find her playing the cello in orchestras around the Wellington area, paddle boarding and dress making.
