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.

Treatments

Treatments I use.

Rehabilitation programmes
Pre- and post-operative care
Passive-assisted stretching

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.

Testimonials

What patients say.

In the last year I was diagnosed with Parkinson's, but I was determined to keep moving. I now go to her once a week and have found it to be the most beneficial activity I do all week… I can highly recommend her professional approach and amazing knowledge of the human body.
David Andrews
Lana King has been instrumental in teaching me not only how to listen to my body, but how to honour, respect and understand it. Lana is patient, kind, soothing and incredibly gentle when one is struggling… Lana's engagement and guidance really does transcend it to a holistic wellness session.
Eleni A
I have been going to Lana for many years and she has honestly changed my life. She is an incredible physio.
Lynn Soicher
Lana's expertise and attentiveness were apparent from the outset. A privilege to be treated by such a professional.
Gregory Kearns
Lana is a wonderful physio and her years of experience really show. I came to her with tightness and pain in my calves from running, and she took the time to help me understand what was going on while giving me exercises that directly targeted the issue. She's brilliant, kind, and always quick to reply to messages with warmth. I couldn't recommend her more.
