Occupational & Hand Therapist
Restoring movement,
restoring life.
Specialised hand therapy for injuries, burns, nerve conditions and chronic pain, from a team that understands just how much your hands do for you every day.
About the practice
The hand is complex,
and essential to everything you do.
Whether it's cooking a meal, working on the factory floor, typing at a desk or catching a ball, our hands carry us through daily life. When an injury or condition gets in the way, we help you get that function back.
Established in September 2000, Annerie Beukes has spent over 25 years providing specialised hand therapy to a wide variety of clients, from traumatic workplace injuries and fractures to wounds, tendon and nerve injuries, amputations, ligament injuries, and burns, as well as chronic conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendon inflammation, tennis and golfer's elbow, and osteo and rheumatoid arthritis. Whether you're recovering from an injury, surgery, or managing a chronic condition, our goal is to help you regain function and get back to what matters to you.
What we treat
Our services
Custom Splinting
Upper-extremity splints to immobilise joints after injury, correct deformities and improve function.
Oedema Management
Compression therapy, taping, contrast bathing and mobilisation to aid recovery and reduce discomfort.
Wound Care
Most hand injuries come with a wound, and treating it is part of treating the injury itself.
Burn Rehabilitation
Supporting physical and emotional recovery after a burn, easing pain and guiding you through the healing process to regain function and comfort.
Pressure Garments
Custom-made garments for burn scarring, amputations, traumatic hand injuries and chronic nerve pain.
Scar Management
Silicone gel dressings, pressure garments, massage and desensitisation to improve appearance and flexibility.
Nerve Injury & Re-education
Desensitisation, nerve glides, massage, vibration and pressure therapy, and splinting to support recovering and regenerating nerves.
Work Recommendations
Working closely with you through recovery from a work injury, with tailored recommendations and hand and upper-limb strengthening for a safe return to work.
Taping
Supporting muscles and joints and facilitating natural healing, without restricting range of motion.
Patient Education
Guidance on your condition, home exercises and hand care, so you understand your recovery every step of the way.
Red Light Therapy
Low-level red light therapy for the hand, used to ease pain, calm inflammation and support tissue healing.
Made in-house
Every splint and garment, custom-made by hand.
From thermoplastic splints to pressure garments, everything is measured, cut and stitched in-house, giving you a precise, comfortable fit made specifically for your hand.
