Tinana Physical Wellbeing
Helping you get physically active and look after your body.
There are plenty of tools and advice available to support you to get physically active and look after your body.
Sometimes it can be hard to find accurate, relevant, and easy-to-understand health information on the internet. That is why we have provided links to trusted sites like Healthify and HealthInfo. These sites include information about topics like health conditions and medicines that is easy to understand.
We also have information about finding healthcare providers. Whether you are looking to sign up with a general practitioner (family doctor) near you, or need after-hours medical care, we will point you in the right direction to get the treatment and advice you need.
Physical wellbeing isn’t just about getting the right health information and treatment though. Finding ways to stay active is another big part of it. Playing organised sport is one of the most popular ways to be active. There are sports clubs and organisations around the country that specialise in sports for disabled people, including the Parafed Network, Special Olympics New Zealand, Deaf Sports New Zealand, and Blind Sports New Zealand. One of the things people enjoy the most about organised sport is the friendships they build either with their teammates or people who they play against.
If you prefer getting out and exploring in your own time, we have information about accessible walking tracks and beaches.
