Raglan Rugby League
Our team really enjoy working with the Senior rugby team and all the crew from the Raglan Rugby club.
Throughout the Winter season, you’ll find our Physiotherapists down at the club rooms strapping and prepping the boys for their game.
We also look after the guys outside of the rugby season by providing Physiotherapy treatment at the clinic throughout the year.
Head down to the rugby grounds during the winter months to watch a great game of Rugby and show your support to the team.
Volunteer Fire Fighters
We greatly appreciate the dedicated work and devotion from all of the crew at the Raglan volunteer fire service.
This wonderful group of humans volunteer their time and bodies for each and every fire-related emergency in the Raglan and wider area. They also put time into weekly trainings and meetings to ensure they are well prepared when there is an emergency.
Our clinic provides Physiotherapy services without surcharge as a gesture of our appreciation to the fire fighters for all they do for our community.
Make sure you give them a big shaka next time you see them around town!
