As we celebrate World Occupational Therapy Day today, we reflect on a fantastic experience we had early in September!

We were delighted to attend the Richards Bay Minerals (RBM) Wellness Week and have the opportunity to engage with employees about the role of Occupational Therapy in health, rehabilitation and the workplace.

It was a valuable opportunity for us to share more about what we do, including how Occupational Therapy can support people following injury or illness, promote functional recovery, and help individuals safely return to work.

Just as importantly, we had the opportunity to listen and learn. Gaining insight into the different roles, working environments and day-to-day demands at RBM helps us better understand the people behind the jobs.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, asked questions and shared their experiences with us. These conversations help build a stronger connection between health, function, work and wellbeing!

And congratulations on our competition winner for taking the victory in the PCE blocks fine motor challenge!

Richter Therapy Mid-End Year Function

At Richter Therapy, we know that a strong team is built on trust and shared experiences, even ones that entail exhilarating near death experiences (jokes)! Our Ballito Mid-End Year Function gave us the chance to step away from our full work routine and connect with one another.

We enjoyed some friendly competition with go-kart racing. This is where we quickly learnt how go-karting can make for unfortunate hand injury victims. Then onto an ocean dip and an afternoon of boardgames and unwinding at a beautiful beach house. This was followed by a fun Greek dining experience together.

The laughter, camaraderie, and memories made throughout the trip reminded us just how special our team truly is. Here's to growing together and celebrating the people who make Richter Therapy what it is!

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate Nerisha on completing her Virtual Hand to Shoulder Fellowship (VHF) qualification!

Nerisha’s dedication to continuous learning is an inspiration, and we’re excited that our team and patients will all benefit from her enhanced knowledge, skills, and excellent expertise!

Here is Nerisha's feedback:

"18 months. Countless hours. Plenty of challenges. One incredible journey. 🤝

Today I’m grateful to have completed the Virtual Hand to Shoulder Fellowship.
This wasn’t just a course, it was a season of growth. There were emotional battles, life stressors and relentless deadlines, but I kept reminding myself:

"Perseverance is not the absence of adversity, but the determination to keep moving despite it."

One of the greatest lessons has been discovering the true power of palpation. It has completely changed the way I understand anatomy, strengthening my foundation and allowing me to assess with greater confidence and precision. 🤲🏽

To my family - thank you for carrying me through the difficult days and believing in me when I needed it most. ❤️

And to Richter Therapy, thank you for investing in me and giving me this incredible opportunity". 🙏💚

Richter Therapy had the privilege of joining Mondi Wellness Day in Richards Bay on 23 June.

We spent time with the Mondi team, sharing how we can support them through:
- Return-to-work assessments
- Hand injury and splint management
- Burns therapy
- Vocational rehabilitation

We also challenged the Mondi workers to test their fine motor coordination by turning circular blocks, seeing who could complete the most in 30 seconds!

It was a wonderful opportunity to connect, educate, and empower workers on their wellness journey.

The role of Occupational Therapy in the Neonatal ICU (NICU)

How do we provide care for infants in the Neonatal ICU?

Occupational therapy in the NICU supports premature and medically fragile infants through specialized interventions.

This includes soft splints for hand positioning, reflex assessments, and neurodevelopmental techniques that simulate normal milestones, laying the foundation for healthy growth and development.

Here Nerisha has crafted unique soft hand splints to support the collateral ligaments and prevent deformity.

How we start our Friday mornings:

The week was a win? Dance.

The week was rough? Dance.

Either way… we DANCE it out!

With DJ Admin Tammy there is never a dull moment come Friday.

Our team grooves into the weekend with rhythm, laughter and pure Friday vibes. Here, in our reception room we celebrate successes and acknowledge difficulties by drawing ourselves to the goodness of the present moment no matter what!

Watch us shake off the stress and step into Friday energy!

Another inspiring recovery story following National Burns Awareness Week:

Zululand is not for softies!

What started as a relaxing fishing trip quickly became a lesson in how dangerously hot north coast sand can be.

One of our patients sustained deep burns to his foot from the scorching sand whilst fishing one weekend.

With daily baths, Flamazine glove wound care, and intentional mobilization, his toes are now almost fully healed! We are so happy with his results.

See his amazing progress below as well as the Flamazine foot glove wound care process.

National Burns Awareness Week

Disclaimer: This post contains medical imagery showing burns healing progress and treatment. Viewer discretion is advised.

This National Burns Week, we would like to share a success story of one of our burn's patients:

Over 100 occupational therapy sessions transformed this devastating electrical burn to his right arm and hand into a story of resilience and recovery.

Starting with daily flamazine glove wound care as well as protective splinting in the intrinsic plus position, stiffness seemed like a permanent barrier.

But through intensive hand therapy exercises and fine motor training, our patient regained full composite flexion.

As seen in the video below, today, his hand is fully functional. He was able to go back to full duties at work.

His story is a testament to perseverance, skilled therapy, and the power of healing.
