On this International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we celebrate the vital role of Occupational Therapy in empowering individuals to live with independence, dignity, and purpose.

We don’t merely provide care; we open doors to opportunity, inclusion, and meaningful participation in everyday life.

We so value our patients and will continue to strive to create a world where hardship is recognized, barriers are broken, performance is optimised and people are empowered to thrive.

Leandi was invited to present as a guest speaker at the South African Burns Congress. She shared how Richter Therapy manages to have such a high return to work rate of patients who sustained burn injuries at work. She also shared how we ensure all our patients with hand burns are discharged with functional hand use!

The presentation was well received by surgeons, nurses, and therapists working with burns patients nationwide. Giving them a practical 'how-to guide' on implementing our strategies in their own settings. It was commented that our success rate is unbelievably high.

From Leandi: "Working with burn patients remains one of the most challenging fields - we cannot do this alone! I would like to thank all the therapists who have tirelessly worked with each burn victim over the past 15 years, all our surgeons who trust us with their patients, all the nurses who help us continue with the much-needed therapy in the ward, and the theatre staff who support our innovative ideas.

What a big achievement to be invited and complimented on the excellent work we do in Richards Bay!

Robyn Leigh has shared her expertise for the last seven years at Richter Therapy. She is taking on new challenges and adventures in life. We wish her and her family all the best with the expected arrival of their little girl in November.

Robyn opted to spend a little longer with her newborn and she will unfortunately not come back to us soon. We are looking forward to lots of visits.

Thank you Robyn for your outstanding service! You will be missed!

3. Improve balance and functional mobility
4. Relearn essential daily activities like dressing, eating, and bathing

Practice Year End Function!

Off to the bush we go - a little earlier this year! Our incredible team of occupational therapists and admin warriors kicked off our end-of-year celebrations in August, because let’s face it - work keeps going through December!

We escaped to Bonamanzi Game Reserve for a well-deserved break filled with a game drive, a delicious dinner, and some fun & games under the stars.

Here’s to celebrating our wins, recharging together, and making memories that’ll carry us through the rest of 2025!
