Physiotherapists

I have always been an active person so when it came to choosing a career, it seemed obvious that the study of the human body and a career of treating and preventing injuries as well as helping people would fulfil me. To this end, I studied Physiotherapy at Stellenbosch University and graduated in 2011. After completing my community service in Hoedspruit, I moved to the private sector in Pretoria where I worked primarily with rehabilitating patients with pulmonary, orthopaedic and sport conditions, a field that continues to interest me. I subsequently moved into more general practice in Johannesburg, which has given me the opportunity to extend my knowledge and practice of sports and orthopaedic related injuries, post-operative rehabilitation and Pilates.

What I want for all my patients is more than a short-term response to a condition and the treatment. I am aware that patients come to a physio for treatment in the hope that there will be no recurrence of pain or injury, but I believe that a short and practicable home programme can help them to build strength and avert further injuries. Since I believe in a holistic approach to healing and understand that prevention is integral to preventing injuries to the body, I am also a certified and practising Pilates instructor.
