It’s World Allied Health Professionals Day!
Today we’re celebrating the physiotherapists and wider allied health teams who help people recover, regain independence and get back to the things that matter to them. One of the ways we’re proud to support their work is by helping provide the equipment and resources they need to care for patients.
At Kāpiti Health Centre, a new Pilates reformer funded by our generous community is giving physiotherapists another way to support patients through their rehabilitation.
The reformer is used by both community rehabilitation physiotherapists and outpatient musculoskeletal physiotherapists, allowing them to provide precise, individualised movement tailored to each patient’s rehabilitation needs.
“Our physio team is absolutely delighted to be able to offer our patient groups this rehab option. It is providing an effective and pragmatic solution. Thank you.”
- Jacinta Bowler, Team Lead, Older Adult, Rehabilitation & Allied Health Service
Thank you to our generous donors for helping equip our allied health teams with the tools they need to provide great care for patients across our region.
