Hawer Ergotherapie is an established practice for occupational therapy in Menden, Fröndenberg and the surrounding area. Under the direction of Heike Hawer, it offers comprehensive therapies for people of all ages who are limited in their ability to act due to illnesses, injuries or developmental disorders. The practice is characterized by an individual, patient-centered approach based on a differentiated assessment. Individually tailored goals and therapy methods are implemented with specific media to promote the greatest possible independence, autonomy, social participation and quality of life.
The main mission of Hawer Ergotherapie is to strengthen those affected in their everyday ability to act and to enable them to lead a self-determined life. Occupational therapy is understood as a recognized remedy that is prescribed by the treating doctor. Values such as individuality, involvement of the family (especially in pediatrics) and holistic care are at the center. The therapies promote motor, cognitive, sensory and psychological functions in order to create a balance between coping with illness and everyday challenges. Creative potentials are (re)discovered, self-confidence is strengthened and an independent way of life is supported.
The practice covers a broad spectrum:
Focuses on neuropsychological treatments, brain performance training and sensorimotor-perceptual therapies for neurological diseases.
Specialized in diseases, injuries and nerve damage to the hand. Treatments include scar treatment, joint mobilization, pain reduction, strength and coordination training, taping, mirror therapy and the production of individual hand splints. Goal: Restoration of motor and sensory functions for everyday life, work and leisure.
Children from infancy to adolescence are at the center. Therapies address delays in motor, cognitive or socio-emotional development. Parents are intensively involved; treatments are carried out individually or in small groups.
For older people with neurological, orthopedic or mental illnesses. Focuses: Promoting mobility, fall prevention, cognitive activation, Basal Stimulation and Validation. Therapies in the practice room or as a home visit.
Support for mental illnesses by strengthening everyday skills, creative potential and social integration. Focus on self-confidence and independent living.
Treatments for degenerative, inflammatory or traumatic joint diseases, including CRPS. Contents: Soft tissue techniques, thermal applications, assistive device advice and training of relevant everyday activities.

The information provided does not mention any explicit sustainability initiatives. However, the practice values long-term independence and prevention (e.g. fall prevention), which indirectly contributes to sustainable health goals. Current web research (as of 2026) suggests a future-oriented practice that is constantly developing without mentioning specific environmental or sustainability programs.
