What a lovely surprise ๐Ÿคฉ

We are so glad to see you doing so well!
As Occupational therapists we walked Mphoโ€™s journey with her, from hospital admission, rehabilitation and ultimately return to work and her everyday life.

It was a privilege to be part of this journey and the reason we become OTs. Thank you Mpho for being such a dedicated patient, you made our day! ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’™

So many splintsโ€ฆ but which one to choose? ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

OTs are known to be adaptable, especially when it comes to ensuring that treatment is individualised to our patients needs! ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ

Thatโ€™s why we assess thoroughly, choose the appropriate treatment plan, & adapt according to how the patient responds. โœจ

Take Mr G for example โ˜๐Ÿผ Zone II FDS & FDP laceration with a delayed surgical repair. Getting maximal tendon excursion while still protecting his tendon repair was extremely important!
So fitting him with this Manchester Splint blocked full extension but facilitated our early-active-mobilisation approach ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Say HELLO to our Powell & Dent OT Team! ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ (the cartoon version of us at leastโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜Ž)

The capable hands of Natalie, Jessica, Robyn & Taryn are here to take you through your OT rehabilitation journey ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ

Whether that may be
๐Ÿ”น getting pain under control & improving your hand function for the arthritis in your hands
๐Ÿ”น getting your scars soft, smooth & loose after a burn injury
๐Ÿ”น getting your stiff, painful arm or hand back to performing your daily activities once again after injury

We love what we do! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿฉต

February 2026 = 10 YEARS of Nat & Jess ๐Ÿ’™

It all started when Natalie decided to give a little straight-outta-commserve (Jessica) a chance at learning the ways of an OT in hand therapy ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ and as they sayโ€ฆ the rest is history!

There have been highs & lows, difficult learning curves & many reasons to celebrate ๐Ÿฅ‚ & along the way we created Powell and Dent Occupational Therapy Inc ๐Ÿฉต

It doesnโ€™t end here!!! ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ

Sometimes an injury is more than what it appears to beโ€ฆ ๐Ÿฆด although the X-rays show us fractures (like this ulnar styloid) it doesnโ€™t show the ligament laxity that then results in wrist instability!!! ๐Ÿ™

For this hockey player - this Meunster Splint stabilised his ORIF & prevented forearm rotation to ensure he regained full wrist stability, mobility, strength & function! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

He is now fully back in action - on & off the hockey field! ๐Ÿ‘

A group of South African Occupational Therapists donate their time to assist with post operative splinting & pressure garments for burns patients in Uganda and Benin who have not had access to adequate care. ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ

Jen Blenkinsop will be riding The Munga Equipe mountain bike relay race in support the cause. ๐Ÿšด๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

Cute Project SA raises funds to assist with resources needed to give these patients the necessary care that is lacking in these countries. โ™ฅ๏ธ

Please consider donating to this amazing cause!

๐Ÿ’ฅDo you have a painful thumb that stops you from doing the things you want & need to do? ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

๐Ÿ’กTry putting a peg into that 1st webspace (between your thumb & index finger) for a few minutes each day to release those muscles!!!

If youโ€™re still strugglingโ€ฆ we suggest you book an appointment with one of our hand therapists to help you & your thumb even more! ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ
