Hand Consult SA

Hand Consult SA Hand Consult SA aims to be leaders in the diagnosis, treatment and care of patients with hand, wrist and upper extremity injuries in Johannesburg.

Hand Consult SA was founded by Dr Chetan Patel, Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon and Robyn Midgley, Specialist Hand & Upper Extremity Therapist in September 2017. Hand Consult SA is committed to delivering the highest standards of patient care by providing an integrated approach to the assessment, treatment, surgery and rehabilitation of hand and upper extremity injuries. A strong value system where the needs of the patient comes first and where patients are treated holistically using state of the art equipment and evidence-based practice to ensure full return to function. As a team, we aim to inspire hope and confidence in our patients.

đź’« Healing Lives Beyond the Visible
We’ve been trained to treat pain at the surface.
To isolate it to muscles, nerves, or joints.
But healing is rarely that linear.

“Some of the most profound healing happens in places no scalpel can reach—
beyond muscles, beyond nerves, and deep into the human story.”
– Robyn Midgley

In every session, I’m reminded:
It’s not just about what we can touch—
It’s about what we’re willing to see.
The biofield holds emotion, memory, trauma.
And when we work there, the body often responds in ways that defy logic but not truth.
This is the future of therapy.
And it’s already here.

Behind the Scenes of Eliminating Pain and Stiffness.
In this video Robyn Midgley uses a Pendulum to assess and locate joint pain and poor nerve conductivity.
She then uses a Tuning Fork, coherent light and vibration to bring coherence to the body.
The response is no pain, movement and functional use of a shoulder that had not moved for 6 years.
How does this work?
According to Kimberly Schipke, M.S of the Biofield Lab, the best example of "bioelectrical coherence", would be a steady heartbeat. The body has an electric nature. Our first aid response is to inject electricity into the heart to bring someone back to life. In the hand therapy world, you can consider bioelectrical incoherence to be muscle spasms or poor nerve conduction. With a tuning fork, you can learn how to slowly move the tuning fork in the electromagnetic field around the hand and find an area of "turbulence" which can indicate abnormal or incoherent electrical firing. The tuning fork broadcasts this turbulence to the body and the body begins to tune itself. The "frequency modulates” and changes with each strike as the body tunes itself. The first strike in an area of turbulence might be chaotic, the second strike is less chaotic but eventually the body can use the coherent sound of the tuning fork to shift its broadcast to also become coherent through the physics principle of entrainment. It is possible to get most Parkinson's hands to stop shaking in about 15min by finding where the electrical firing goes "off" in the field.
When healing begins in the Biofield, the results are phenomenal.

Most of my patients come to me after they’ve tried everything.
They’ve done the scans. The meds. The therapy.
Nothing changed—until we worked together.

💥 One patient hadn’t lifted her arm in four years due to pain. After ONE session, she raised it overhead.

💥 Another was stuck in chronic hip pain. After 2 remote treatments? Relief—for the first time in years.

This isn’t massage, manipulation, movement or vibration. It’s frequency. And the body responds—FAST.

🧬 Sound, light, and vibration remind the nervous system what to do.
This work deserves to be known. Too many people are stuck thinking there’s no hope left.
If that’s you, comment HOPE and I’ll send you a video of exactly how I achieve these results.

I recorded a clinical outcome this week that does not fit inside current occupational therapy frameworks.

A CVA patient presented with impaired movement and reliance on a cane. There was no hands-on treatment, no facilitation, no motor retraining and no task-specific practice.

The intervention occurred entirely within the biofield, using coherent light, sound, and vibration to influence systemic organisation.

Movement emerged without physical prompting.
The patient walked out without the cane.

To my knowledge, this has never been demonstrated or documented within occupational therapy practice.

This is not a claim — it is an observation.

If movement can reorganise without touch, then our models of recovery may be incomplete.

The future of rehabilitation may not begin in the body — but in coherence

💥 Growth Doesn’t Live in Compliance

The moment you challenge the status quo…
You’ll ruffle feathers.
But that’s not a bad thing.
“If you’re pi***ng people off, that’s good—it's making them think.”
– Dr Jack Kruse
The medical world trains us to comply.
To stay in our lane.
To keep within “evidence-based” lines that often ignore the full human experience.
But growth doesn’t happen inside narrow boxes.
It happens when we dare to question what we’re told... and follow what we see working.
Healing is not always linear.
And neither is truth.
So yes—what we do may stir the pot.
But we’d rather be disruptive… than asleep.

Most people think hand rehab has to happen in person.

❌ They imagine forcing movement.
❌ Painful stretches or massage
❌ Endless exercises that barely make a difference.

But the reality is:
🤯 You don’t need hands-on therapy to create real change in the tissue.

✅ What you need is the right input—not more force.
âś… Without Geographical borders.
✅ You need a way to stimulate function, reduce pain, and restore control—even over Zoom.

In my Virtual Hand Clinic, we use:
🔹 Light
🔹 Sound
🔹 Vibration
🔹 Targeted neuro-frequency work

These tools help reprogram how your brain communicates with your hand—without the need for pushing, pulling, or in-person appointments.

👉 Bonus?
You get the entire session recorded—so you can replay it anytime and keep reinforcing progress between sessions.

Whether you’re dealing with:

Chronic stiffness

Nerve pain

Post-surgical recovery

Movement loss

Or "mystery" hand issues no one can explain…

💡 The Virtual Hand Clinic gives you access to real results—wherever you are.

🕰️ Money Can Be Replaced. Time Can’t.

Modern life promises convenience.
But what it takes in return is your time.
Your energy.
Your freedom.
We’ve replaced sunlight with screens,
movement with machines,
and natural rhythms with non-stop hustle.
Then we wonder why we feel sick, burnt out, or like we’re always chasing time.
“Don’t just be lucky in money, be lucky in time—because then you’re a savage.”
– Dr Jack Kruse
Health is how we reclaim time.
And nature is the original blueprint.
Let’s live wiser, not just longer.

A splash of pink…a depth of meaning

Bougainvillea thrives where conditions are far from perfect.
Heat. Wind. Poor soil. Neglect.
And still — it blooms.

What looks like the flower is actually protection for something much more delicate beneath.
A reminder that healing isn’t about forcing softness too soon — it’s about creating the right conditions for the body to reorganise itself, safely and intelligently.

In my work, I’m less interested in dramatic interventions and more interested in adaptive change — the kind that happens quietly, when the system is supported rather than overpowered.

Sometimes the most profound recovery happens under just enough stress…
and with the right structure in place, colour returns.

Grip strength measures muscular strength or the maximum force/tension generated by forearm muscles and is used as a screening tool for measurement of upper body overall strength. Research indicates that grip strength in midlife can predict physical disability in senior years.

Robyn,

Thank you so much for your kind words and for your post! I deeply appreciate this wonderful opportunity to have learned from you.

I am eternally grateful! Life brings us together with people who empower us, help us discover new paths, and open new doors. You are one of them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything!

And thank you for passing on to new generations the importance of continuous education and innovation in our field. I still owe myself learning more about energy medicine.

Thank you, Robyn! I hope we’ll be celebrating our paper publication very soon!

Big hug,

Paula
