Yes, hand therapy works "evidence-based." Although hand therapy can be different for each individual, we work according to guidelines based on scientific research. We naturally keep this up to date. Our therapists are post-graduate trained in hand therapy. Through our close cooperation with general practitioners and specialists, we achieve optimal results. Many treatments follow protocols that have been scientifically proven effective.

When giving conservative therapy, we will look with you at how the complaint arises. Often this is related to your daily activities, the way you do what you have to do every day. We try to work with you to make adjustments in behavior, attitude, and help you learn new methods. If necessary, we can make a splint. In this way we try to prevent your symptoms from worsening and an intervention becoming necessary. Often you will discuss this with your general practitioner, and he or she will advise you to go through this process first, before considering options such as injections or surgery.

Yes, by all insurers. You do not need additional insurance to be reimbursed. Hand therapy is a specialization within occupational therapy, and because of its effective and cost-saving methods, it is included in your insurance's basic package. You will be reimbursed for 10 hours per calendar year. Of course, the legally determined deductible applies.
