About our Therapists
Our practitioners are masters of the art of hand therapy. Elmarie van der Merwe is registered under the Health Professionals Council of South Africa as an Occupational therapist with a specialization in hand injuries.
Your hand is complex and intricate. That’s why there’s a whole sub-specialty dedicated to treating hand injuries.
Our experts are able to detect where your pain is coming from. We diagnose the origin of your pain, by testing the tissues and structures that make up your hand. We also provide treatment for the underlying causes of pain. We encourage you to get therapy before your problem worsens.

“I know what your hands need to heal – let me show you.”
Do you believe your hands are failing you? Are you unable to use your hands like you normally would? Are your hands painful or stiff? Do you feel you’ve lost power in your hands?
Hand therapy has helped many patients get relief from weakness, pain and stiffness. Our goal is to improve function, ease the pain and take back control.
Have you fallen? Knocked, bumped or slammed your finger? Is your hand swollen, aching or throbbing? Are you unable to use your hand?
Trauma to your hands can cause tissue damage to many structures simultaneously. By testing these tissues we establish which muscles, tendons, nerves or joints are injured. The test also help us understand the extent of the tissue damage. Once we’ve completed our tests, we arrive at a diagnosis. This diagnosis helps us create a tailored treatment programme that addresses your specific problem.
Hand therapy is a process of understanding
Hand therapy is a process of understanding
An accurate diagnosis gives us a better understanding of why you’re in pain. We have a whole range of hand treatments, but first we must know what specific problem we’re dealing with. Otherwise, we’re treating symptoms and not the actual cause of the problem.
If you’re experiencing challenges with your hands, wrists or fingers and are still unsure whether you should book a session, drop us a WhatsApp message or call us to discuss your situation before committing to treatment.
