Hand Wrist and Elbow Therapy

03/04/2026

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.

Wondering what you can or shouldn’t do after a fracture distal radius (broken wrist) that required surgery to fix it with a plate and screws? Australian Certified Hand Therapist Alison Taylor has created a quick info sheet just for you!
And when can you start hand therapy? As soon as possible. The earlier we start, the faster you recover.
Thank you Alison Taylor!

🚧 We’re Still Open! 🚧

You might have noticed some scaffolding has recently been erected around our Porirua clinic as part of exterior improvements around the building. Please rest assured that our business remains open and fully operational throughout this period.

Clear signage will be in place as required to help guide you to our usual entrance.

We appreciate your understanding, continued support, and we thank you for your patience as these improvements are carried out over the next few weeks.
