Holistic Treatment Approach
Ana-Lisa provides holistic assessments and individualized treatments using a variety of techniques and modalities that she has acquired over the past 18 years. She uses a gentle approach, following the tension in the body. She does not believe that treatments should be painful or forceful.
At A. Romao Physio & Wellness you can get treatments for a variety of conditions such as back and neck pain or any other muskulo-skeletal pain, headaches, sports injuries, fibromyalgia and other chronic pain syndromes, post-operative rehabilitation and care, respiratory conditions in adults and babies.
You can also process, release and heal trauma, stress and negative emotions through Havening, Psych-K and TRE sessions, and build emotional resilience through HeartMath and other modalities.
Home visits are offered in the Benoni area for the elderly, disabled, post-operative patients that are unable to drive, as well as patients with respiratory conditions such as Pneumonia and Covid-19.
Please note there is surcharge for home visits to cover fuel as well as travel time.
The practice charges medical aid rates and sessions can be claimed back from medical aid, depending on your plan and savings amount.

BSc in Physiotherapy (MCMT)
Havening Techniques Practitioner

Psych-K Facilitator
HeartMath Coach
PNI Coach
I graduated from Wits with a BSc in Physiotherapy in 2004, completed my Community Service at Pretoria Academic Hospital and went on to work in private practice at Northgate. I moved to Mozambique in 2007 and opened a private practice in Maputo. As an adjunct I also ran a successful dance and fitness studio during my 9 years in Mozambique.
I opened my practice in Benoni in 2016 and started focusing more on alternative treatment methods and moving away from the medical model and conventional approach to treating pain.
I have completed various courses over the years including Advanced Dry Needling, POLD, Incontinence, Sacro-Iliac Dysfunction, Spinal Manipulation, Explain Pain, Introduction to NLP, Functional Neuromuscular Rehabilitation, Taping Techniques, and Active Isolated Stretching to name but a few.
I received a Mastery Certification in Manual Therapy (MCMT) in 2010.
In 2018 I completed the training to become a TRE Facilitator as I realized how much stress, anxiety and trauma could impact pain levels. I also trained in Emmett Therapies.
In 2020 I qualified as a PNI Coach (Psychoneuro Immunology).
In 2022 I became the first certified Havening Techniques Practitioner in South Africa. I also registered with the African National Healers Association, and started my training in Visceral Manipulation through the Barrall Institute.
In 2023 I qualified as a Psych-K facilitator and continue with further studies in trauma and healing.
I love the work that I do. Being able to help people heal and and be able to life their best life is incredibly rewarding.
I am determined to continue learning and evolving in order to give a patient the most effective treatment experience possible.
“If your body is screaming in pain, a first step in releasing the pain may be making the connection between your body pain and the cause. “
Beliefs are physical.
A thought held long enough and repeated enough becomes a belief. The belief then becomes biology.”
— Marilyn Van Derbur
My Treatment Philosophy
In my practice each patient is an individual with specific needs. There are no recipes for treatments.
I focus on the whole patient and not just their problem area.
Each person is assessed holistically, considering their lifestyle as well as physical, mental and emotional issues, experiences and limitations.
I do not believe that many treatments in a short period of time are what is necessary to resolve a problem, and that identifying the root cause and applying the correct treatment techniques can help facilitate healing in the body.
I also encourage patients to be proactive in their recovery and take small steps to improve their overall health and prevent future problems.
