Wrinkles are a MUST when it comes to mobility! 🩡

Everyone knows the feeling of a tight, swollen finger that feels as though it might just POP when you move! πŸ˜• As essential as swelling is for healing on a cellular level… it often likes to overstay its welcome!!! πŸ™„

That’s why one of our highest priorities early in therapy is to reduce swelling & get your skin moving again! πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ The more wrinkly your skin, the more flexible it is!!!

What a lovely surprise 🀩

We are so glad to see you doing so well!
As Occupational therapists we walked Mpho’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! πŸ‘ŒπŸΌπŸ’™

So many splints… but which one to choose? πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

OTs are known to be adaptable, especially when it comes to ensuring that treatment is individualised to our patients needs! πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ

That’s why we assess thoroughly, choose the appropriate treatment plan, & adapt according to how the patient responds. ✨

Take Mr G for example ☝🏼 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 😎

Say HELLO to our Powell & Dent OT Team! πŸ€©πŸ’™πŸ‘‹πŸΌ (the cartoon version of us at least… 😎)

The capable hands of Natalie, Jessica, Robyn & Taryn are here to take you through your OT rehabilitation journey 🫢🏼

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

We love what we do! πŸ’™πŸ©΅

February 2026 = 10 YEARS of Nat & Jess πŸ’™

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 πŸ’ͺ🏼 and as they say… the rest is history!

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

It doesn’t end here!!! 🫢🏼

October wasn’t just another awareness month β€” it was a movement 🩷

Our P&D team joined many other South Africans for a single, life-changing mission: 𝙏𝙀 π™ˆπ™€π™«π™š 𝙁𝙀𝙧 π˜Ύπ™π™–π™£π™œπ™š.

The Imagine Challenge was a national drive to fund free breast cancer screenings for women in need. πŸŽ€ Each screening gives a woman education, early detection, and access to care β€” often for the first time. 🫢🏼

Sometimes an injury is more than what it appears to be… 🦴 although the X-rays show us fractures (like this ulnar styloid) it doesn’t show the ligament laxity that then results in wrist instability!!! πŸ™

For this hockey player - this Meunster Splint stabilised his ORIF & prevented forearm rotation to ensure he regained full wrist stability, mobility, strength & function! πŸ’ͺ🏼

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

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. 🫢🏼

Jen Blenkinsop will be riding The Munga Equipe mountain bike relay race in support the cause. πŸš΄πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ’ͺ🏼

Cute Project SA raises funds to assist with resources needed to give these patients the necessary care that is lacking in these countries. β™₯️

Please consider donating to this amazing cause!

πŸ’₯Do you have a painful thumb that stops you from doing the things you want & need to do? 😣

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

If you’re still struggling… we suggest you book an appointment with one of our hand therapists to help you & your thumb even more! πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ
