HandtherapieNet

What HandtherapieNet does

Handtherapie.net is a specialist outpatient center for hand, wrist, and arm conditions based in Amersfoort, Netherlands, operating four clinic locations: Amersfoort Noord (De Brand 40), Amersfoort Zuid (Cartesiusstraat 2), Arnhem (Van Oldenbarneveldtstraat 85a), and Bunschoten-Spakenburg (Wilhelminastraat 32). The practice is staffed entirely by CHT-NL (Certified Hand Therapist - Netherlands) practitioners registered in the Kwaliteitsregister Paramedici and Keurmerk Fysiotherapie, with a clinical team of 12+ therapists drawn from both physiotherapy and occupational therapy backgrounds. The website identifies 12 named clinicians, with recent additions (Florian Werger, Mila Michel, Dewi Endeveld) indicating ongoing team expansion.

The service portfolio covers the full pathway of conservative and post-surgical hand care: physiotherapy and occupational therapy sessions, custom-made splints fabricated on-site, exercise therapy, wound care and scar treatment, edema management, ultrasound diagnostics (Echografie diagnostiek), and advanced modalities including Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy and EPTE (percutaneous electrolysis) for tendinopathy. A structured Wrist Program (Polsprogramma) based on the AMC protocol targets wrist instability, tendon inflammation, and TFCC issues. The practice reports treating more than 30 specific conditions ranging from fractures and tendon injuries to nerve compressions (carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel), arthritis (including CMC1, where a 95% success rate is cited for splint-plus-exercise therapy), Dupuytren's contracture, and trigger finger.

Handtherapie.net operates as a direct-to-consumer healthcare practice: patients can self-refer without GP involvement and book via phone, email, contact form, or website. Pricing is published per session: €53.50 for physiotherapy or ergotherapy, €90.50 for a one-time physiotherapy examination, €73.50 for screening/intake/examination and referral intake, a €38.50 surcharge for home visits, and cancellation fees of €35–€50. The practice bills contracted Dutch health insurers directly for eligible services (with Caresq and A.S.R. not contracted for 2026, triggering self-pay rates), under practice code 88051922. Distribution is anchored by referral partnerships with regional hospitals and medical centers including Rijnstate, Meander MC, MC Heideweg, Orthopedie Atelier, Gezondheidscentrum Cartesius, Medisch Centrum Vathorst, Fyzie, and PZeemland, plus participation in Nivel primary care registries. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding, ownership changes, or M&A activity.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• FysioHolland: Large Dutch physiotherapy franchise network offering general outpatient therapy. Comparable service delivery infrastructure but a much broader, non-specialist positioning relative to Handtherapie.net.
• DC Klinieken: Dutch chain of independent outpatient specialist clinics covering multiple disciplines, with physiotherapy-adjacent services. Comparable ambulatory, multi-site private-clinic operating model.
• Bergman Clinics: Major Dutch private clinic group (parent of Xpert Clinics) operating multiple focused-care lines including hand and wrist. Overlapping capability, broader specialty portfolio, and substantially larger national footprint.
• Equipe Zorgbedrijven: Dutch operator of focused, independent medical specialist clinics across multiple indications. Comparable private-clinic multi-site model with overlapping therapist-led service lines.

Direct peers

• Annatommie mc: Dutch independent clinic specializing in orthopedics and movement care, including hand/wrist consultations and therapy. Comparable sub-specialist positioning and direct-to-patient access model.
• Orthopedie Atelier: Dutch orthopedic specialist provider of braces, splints, and custom orthopedic devices — overlapping on the custom splint and upper-extremity orthopedic product/service line that Handtherapie.net also delivers in-house.
• Xpert Clinics (Hand & Wrist): Largest Dutch specialist network focused on hand, wrist, and elbow care, combining surgical and therapy services. Direct competitor in CHT-level outpatient hand therapy across the Netherlands.

Others

• Meander Medisch Centrum: Large regional Dutch hospital operating outpatient hand/wrist therapy services. Functions as both a referral source and a competing in-house therapy provider within the Amersfoort region.
• Rijnstate (Revalidatie / Handtherapie): Regional hospital network operating outpatient therapy including hand rehabilitation — both a referral partner and a potential in-house alternative. Comparable therapist-delivered hand therapy services in the same Dutch catchment.

Regional players

• Medisch Centrum Vathorst: Multi-disciplinary primary care center in Amersfoort where Handtherapie.net operates a satellite location. Comparable outpatient care delivery and primary-care patient flow in the same local market.
