Wellness Therapies
The centre currently offers two treatments – Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHBOT) and Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMFt)

Conditions the treatment assists with include; Diabetic Wound Healing, Head Injuries, Stroke Recovery, Sports Injuries, Improved Bone Regeneration.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMFt) is a non-invasive treatment therapy using low frequency magnetic energy which is complimentary to our bodies’ natural energy and chemistry.
Exposure to these lower frequency magnetic fields can help improve circulation, reduce muscle tension and inflammation, improve tissue healing, reduce anxiety and stress, improve sleep and stimulate cell regeneration.
Brain Gauge
The Brain Gauge is a research grade, neuro-diagnostic tool which measures with 90% accuracy what part of the brain may not be operating optimally and how badly it is affected. It allows us to check for early signs of dementia, Parkinson’s or track improvements during mHBOT and PEMFt treatments.
Check your brain health with this simple, fun and highly accurate 20 minute test.
Mirimiri Massage Therapy
Mirimiri is a traditional Māori healing technique that seeks to restore and rebalance the body.
This is achieved through applying pressure to trigger points and pressure points, using tools such as kōhatu (stones), spine and joint alignment techniques and the use of hands, feet, elbows and bodyweight to work the muscles and tissue. It is similar to other traditional massage techniques, while also incorporating Māori wairua.

Te Whare Oranga Background
Te Whare Oranga has been a project that began a few years ago with a trip to Taiwan. A large contingent of Kaupapa Maori Health Providers travelled to Taiwan to observe the therapies that were being provided, including Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Taiwan has an impressive record of wellness service provision to it’s people, something whanau wellness providers across the motu are keen to emulate.
One of the organisations that travelled to Taiwan alongside Te Manu Toroa has implemented the therapies within their service and are already seeing the benefits of these treatments for their whanau.
In 2018 Te Kohao Health in Kirikiriroa launched their Wellness Centre that included Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy. On the 20th March 2019 Te Manu Toroa launched the second Kaupapa Maori Wellness Centre to offer these therapies. Te Whare Oranga will provide therapies for both current Te Manu Toroa Service users and private clients.
