Musculo-skeletal Physiotherapy · Illovo

Careful assessment.
Individualised treatment.

Every appointment starts with a careful assessment. I tailor treatment to what each patient needs, from the first consultation through to full recovery.

Approach

Assessment first.
Treatment that fits you.

I have focused on musculo-skeletal outpatient care since qualifying from Wits University in 1995. Every appointment starts with a careful assessment, followed by treatment tailored to what each patient needs.

Mobility Work

Passive-assisted mobility and stretching.

Because movement is so essential to wellbeing, I added passive-assisted mobility and stretching to my treatment regime. The treatment is performed using precise and carefully graded techniques designed to improve joint mobility, reduce muscle spasm, and alleviate pain.

Sessions are individually tailored to each patient's needs and comfort level, making this an ideal option for those who may not tolerate more focused manual therapy.

  • Sports people, pre and post activity
  • Sedentary individuals needing improved mobility
  • Older people
  • Chronic pain
  • Auto-immune conditions affecting mobility
  • Neurological rigidity, such as Parkinson's

At-Home Programme

Posture, core and conditioning, from home.

I created a self-guided exercise programme blending Pilates, yoga and physiotherapy rehab concepts. It targets posture, core strength, conditioning and stretching, and it's suitable for all ages and abilities. A new class is available each week for you to follow when it suits you. Should you wish to find out more, or to join me, please contact me.
