Welcome to Hand Consult SA

Your premier destination for hand & upper extremity care

Based at the Houghton Medical Suites in Johannesburg, Hand Consult SA is led by Robyn Midgley, a distinguished Hand & Upper Extremity Therapist known for her holistic approach to treatment.

Rooted in extensive research and clinical experience, we believe a holistic approach fosters optimal recovery. Robyn works both independently and in collaboration with other professionals, ensuring a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

We prioritise swift diagnosis and intervention — because delays can compromise functional outcomes — and stand ready to provide emergency consultations when you need specialist care most.

"In the right hands, the power of touch becomes the strength of healing, the promise of recovery, and the heart of transformation."

— Robyn Midgley
