A few days ago, a customer walked into our Health Equip showroom a week before her scheduled hip replacement. She wanted to get everything sorted in advance, so her home would be completely ready for her return.
That visit stayed with us. She shared that she was getting these essential items sorted early, not only out of necessity, but to give herself a calmer week and a gentler first week back home.
Returning home should be about healing, not struggling with daily tasks.
Getting prepared ahead of time doesn’t just make your physical recovery smoother and more convenient. It significantly lightens pre-surgery anxiety for both you and your family.
At Health Equip, we supply essential equipment and daily living aids for hip and knee post-surgery recovery, whether you are preparing for your own procedure here in Auckland, or supporting a loved one on their recovery journey.
Need equipment delivered straight to your door? We offer convenient Auckland-wide hire delivery, as well as nationwide shipping across New Zealand for retail purchases.
If you’d rather not work through a long list of individual items, our Hip & Knee Recovery Package pulls the essentials into one booking.
The package is thoughtfully designed to simplify life after hip or knee surgery or injury, covering the four pieces of equipment most people reach for in those first weeks: a safe place to sit, a safe way to shower, a safe way to use the toilet, and a way to pick things up without bending.
Book a 4-week hire. The package includes:
