Dr. Sarah Armitage

Sarah qualified as an occupational therapist in 2015 from the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa, where she practised for five years before relocating to the UAE. She is an allied health professional with a focused expertise in upper limb and hand conditions, working predominantly in the paediatric field.

She provides both conservative (non-surgical) and post-surgical rehabilitation for a wide range of hand and upper limb conditions in children. These include congenital conditions such as radial dysplasia, amniotic band syndrome, polydactyly (extra fingers), syndactyly (fused fingers), arthrogryposis, and camptodactyly (bent fingers), as well as acquired conditions including finger fractures, nerve injuries (such as brachial plexus injuries and wrist drop), burns, and cerebral palsy. Sarah's clinical work involves custom splint fabrication, serial soft casting, scar management, and preparation or follow-up care after surgical procedures.

Sarah is a good fit for families seeking specialized hand and upper limb therapy for children with birth defects, injuries, or neurological conditions affecting arm and hand function.
