🌟 Struggling with Knee Weakness or Pain? There Is Hope! 🌟

This 42-year-old lady had been struggling with right knee weakness for over 5 years. As a chef, she stands for 10 hours a day, but her knee became so weak that she found it difficult to bear weight on her right leg, walk, or climb stairs.

To cope, she unconsciously relied on her back and other muscles to keep herself standing, which only led to further problems. Despite seeking treatment from several healthcare professionals over the years, she experienced little improvement and became increasingly frustrated and desperate for a solution.

She came to Oraia Physio in July and attended just two treatment sessions. After a thorough assessment and targeted corrective exercises, she achieved more than 50% improvement in the strength and alignment of her right leg. Although she has not fully recovered yet, she is now able to stand much more confidently on her right leg and has returned to functioning far better at work.

The best part? The exercises are simple, practical, and easy to manage at home.

If you have been living with knee pain or weakness and have started to think that nothing can help, don't give up. The right assessment and treatment can make a real difference.

This 78-year-old lady came to Oraia Physio with severe arthritis in both knees. She was on the public hospital waiting list for total knee replacement surgery, but while waiting, she was experiencing significant pain and difficulty walking.

After a comprehensive assessment, we focused on improving her knee biomechanics using a combination of:
✅ Individualised corrective exercises
✅ Magnetic therapy to help manage pain and inflammation
✅ Kinesio taping to support alignment and movement

📸 These photos show her knee alignment before and immediately after the same treatment session. She experienced noticeable improvement in both her alignment and pain, allowing her to move more comfortably.

While every person responds differently to treatment, physiotherapy can often help reduce pain, improve function, and support better movement—even for people with advanced knee arthritis.

🦵 If knee pain is affecting your daily life, don't wait until it gets worse. Let us assess your condition and discuss the treatment options that may be right for you.

# haematoma # Kinesio Taping
Haematoma Healed in Just 11 Days!

This patient first came to see me on 14 November 2024 after sustaining a forearm injury on 24 October 2024. He had trapped his arm between his washing machine and the laundry wall while attempting a repair.

He consulted his GP immediately after the accident. Unfortunately, he was advised that there was little that could be done other than waiting for the body to heal naturally. After three weeks, however, there had been no noticeable improvement. Instead, his forearm became increasingly swollen, painful, and stiff. His fingers also began to contract, making it difficult to fully extend them.

Fortunately, the injury was to his non-dominant arm, but it had become significantly impaired and was affecting his daily activities.

Determined to find another solution, he contacted our clinic to see whether we could help. I encouraged him to come in for an assessment and treatment.
His treatment programme included:

Therapeutic ultrasound
Deep soft tissue massage
Passive stretching
Kinesio Taping®

Within just 11 days, his forearm showed remarkable improvement. Swelling was greatly reduced, circulation improved, flexibility returned, and muscle function was restored. Most importantly, he regained the use of his arm and was able to return to his normal activities.

Every injury is different, and outcomes can vary from person to person, but timely assessment and appropriate treatment can often make a significant difference.

If you are struggling with pain, swelling, stiffness, or a lingering injury, don't wait to seek help.

20 Years of Lymphoedema – Remarkable Immediate Response to Kinesio Taping Treatment

This lady underwent a left mastectomy following breast cancer in 1993 and had been suffering from persistent lymphoedema for over 20 years. The swelling became so severe that the nerves in her upper limb were compressed and injured.

When I first saw her:
• There was no active movement in the wrist or fingers
• Active elbow control was minimal
• The shoulder was completely non-functional
However, through deep lymphatic massage and Kinesio Taping treatment, the swelling was reduced significantly. Amazingly, some active movement returned after treatment, including slight wrist extension and elbow pronation.

The demonstration treatment session lasted approximately one hour. This picture shows the immediate effect following the treatment.

Come and experience the power of Kinesio Taping if you are still suffering from lymphoedema! 264 Manukua Road Epsom

Struggling with knee pain and knee deformity?
This 70-year-old lady first developed pain in her left knee due to a valgus deformity (“knock knee”). To avoid worsening the pain, she unconsciously shifted more weight onto her right leg. Over time, the right knee also became painful from overcompensation.
She came to me for treatment, and I managed her condition with:
• Kinesio Taping
• Exercise therapy
• Custom-made insole fitting
Because her left knee was deviated, it created an “apparent short leg,” which was corrected with the custom insole. After several treatment sessions and consistent use of the insole, both knee pains were significantly relieved.
Now, she is able to walk up and down stairs comfortably and without pain!
Don’t wait until the pain gets worse. Early treatment can make a huge difference.

He Has Already Prepared the Way: From a Remote Town to a Place of Settlement

The journey of immigration is never easy. Looking back, after New Zealand reopened in 2023, God led me to work in the small town of Paihia at the northern tip of the North Island. At the time, I did not understand His purpose. I felt lonely and isolated, and even questioned why I had been placed in such a remote location. Yet today, as I reflect, I see more clearly—and I am deeply grateful for His guidance and the way He has shaped me.

Paihia is geographically remote, with very limited medical resources. Hospitals and healthcare professionals are in short supply, and the nearest emergency hospital is in Whangārei, about an hour’s drive away. As a result, our physiotherapy clinic played a vital role in the community. At times, I had to step into responsibilities similar to those of an emergency doctor—managing acute musculoskeletal injuries and even providing crutches to patients on the spot. Within just a few months, I encountered a wide range of complex and unfamiliar cases, which rapidly broadened my clinical experience. Although I worked eight hours a day, the pace was intense, with patients scheduled every half hour. At first, I felt anxious and unsure of my ability to cope, but over time I came to recognise this as an incredibly valuable period of growth. I also began with very limited knowledge of New Zealand’s ACC system, but learned and became confident in using it during that time.

In contrast, in Auckland, medical resources are far more abundant. Most patients have already been assessed by a doctor before arriving at the clinic, and the conditions I treat tend to be more routine and less complex.

Additionally, during my time in Paihia, all my patients communicated in English—around 70% were European and 30% were Māori. This environment pushed me to fully immerse myself in listening and speaking English. In the beginning, I struggled with the local accent and could only understand about half of what was being said, which was discouraging. However, as time went on, I gradually adapted and was pleasantly surprised to find that my English improved significantly.

Life in Paihia was also simple. There were limited opportunities to spend money, with only two small supermarkets and around ten restaurants in the town. As a result, even though my income was relatively modest at the time, I was still able to save.

Often, we do not understand God’s will in the midst of difficulties; it is only in hindsight that we begin to see His purpose. I am truly thankful for His guidance and provision, which have enabled us to settle in Auckland and establish a clinic in the Epsom community. This past February, my husband and I were also blessed to receive our permanent residency, bringing us a deep sense of peace and stability.

Today, although there is still much to learn and work on in the clinic, through past experiences and challenges, God has already prepared the way for us. He has poured out abundant grace and carefully ordered every step. May the Lord continue to use “Oraia Physio” so that we may be blessed and, in turn, become a blessing to others.

What an hour! One of my patients from a nearby retirement village brought me their village’s monthly magazine, and our clinic is on the recommended list. It means a lot to me. I’m truly grateful for her recommendation and thankful to God for this encouragement. 🙏
