Kia Kaha Intensive Therapy

Kia Kaha Intensive Therapy Welcome to Christchurch’s First Intensive Therapy Centre! Kia ora! I have 20 years of practice, 16 of which have been spent here in New Zealand.

We’re so excited to open our doors and invite you into a warm, family-friendly space where your child’s growth and development is our passion. My name is Dora, and I am a highly experienced specialist working hands on with children living with motor delays to achieve milestones. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working closely with children and families living with motor disabili

ties, which has given me deep insight into the unique challenges they face. Over the years, I have observed an increasing need for intensive and alternative physical therapies that are often unavailable in New Zealand, and it’s this gap that I am passionate about addressing.

What is TASES?
Task-specific electrical stimulation (TASES) is an evidence-based technique that uses functional electric stimulation for people with cerebral palsy and other movement disorders. TASES is an active intervention that requires participation. It activates muscles and provides sensory input to the user, which improves movement patterns and function. TASES can improve joint range of motion and decrease spasticity.
