Dr Elmarie van der Merwe Hand Therapist Pretoria

Dr Elmarie van der Merwe Hand Therapist Pretoria provides expert therapy and treatment for hand, wrist, and finger pain. Our patients trust us to guide them through recovery safely. If your hands, wrists, or fingers hurt, we can help. We begin every session by testing all the tissues that make up your hand. This approach allows us to create a clear diagnosis and start your healing journey immediately. Together, we develop a tailored treatment program and track your progress step by step.

Our practitioners are registered, qualified, and have years of experience. They specialize in helping patients relieve pain and regain function. Many people do not realize the importance of their hands until they can’t use them. This situation can be frustrating. We encourage you to visit our Garsfontein practice so we can identify what you need to recover fully.

Expert Hand Therapy Services

Our hand therapists, including Dr Elmarie van der Merwe and Juané Visser, are registered occupational therapists under the Health Professions Council of South Africa. They treat injuries and conditions affecting muscles, tendons, nerves, and joints in the hand, wrist, and fingers. We provide an accurate diagnosis before starting treatment. This ensures that we address the root cause of your pain, not just the symptoms.

Cutting Edge Technology

We use the latest therapy techniques and modern equipment to help you heal. From specialized machines to splints, every tool we use improves your recovery speed and quality.

Comprehensive Treatment Approach

We combine hands-on therapy with patient education. Every session includes testing, discussion, and treatment. We make sure you understand the cause of your pain and how to prevent it in the future. Our approach covers a wide range of conditions, including injuries from trauma, fractures, repetitive strain, or stiffness.

Tailored Recovery Programs

We create personalized treatment plans for each patient. These plans focus on restoring function, easing pain, and regaining strength. We guide you through every step of the process. Waiting for your hands to heal on their own wastes precious time. Early treatment ensures faster and better results.
