Physiotherapists
Heide Block
B.Sc Physiotherapy (Wits)
I offer a caring, comprehensive service, based on more than 30 years of experience, 24 years of which have been in private practice
My interest in the practice has been in treating the whole range of musculo-skeletal problems. This includes neck, back, knee, shoulder, other joint pain, and sport injuries.
I am mainly a “Hands-On” physiotherapist and do dry needling,taping and other electro-therapeutic modalities as required.
Many people who work at computers and sit a lot in the day suffer from postural strain. This causes headaches, and neck and back pain. My treatment aims to relieve the pain as well as to prevent recurrence by education and exercises.
There is a proven link between stress and how it affects the body. Treatments through the autonomic nervous system promote relaxation and healing.
I love being a physiotherapist and see myself as a facilitator of healing. Working closely with clients and other practitioners has offered me great satisfaction and growth.I am a licensed Life Coach and Artist as well.

Rikki Malherbe
B.Sc Physiotherapy (Stellenbosch)
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.
