Physiotherapy & Wellness
Experienced, effective and efficient. “I take great effort in helping reduce patients’ pain and improving their wellbeing in as few sessions as possible”
ABOUT ME
I graduated from Wits with a BSc in Physiotherapy in 2004, completed 1 year of Community Service at Pretoria Academic Hospital in 2005, and then went to work in private practice at Northgate Physiotherapy Practice with Erica Wagner who taught me so much and helped shape the therapist that I am today.
In March 2007 I moved to Maputo, Mozambique, to open my own private practice, as one of the very few qualified Physiotherapist's in the country. As an adjunct I also ran a fitness studio and taught various classes including Core, Active Stretching, Oriental Dancing, Zumba and Rebounding. I also trained in EMS exercises.
I have completed various courses over the years including Incontinence, Advanced Dry Needling, Sacro Iliac Dysfunction, Spinal Manipulation, Explain Pain, Introduction to NLP, Functional Neuromuscular Rehabilitation, Taping Techniques, POLD, and Active Isolated Stretching to name a few.
I received a Mastery Certification in Manual Therapy (MCMT) in 2010.
I love the work that I do. Being able to help people with their pain and limitations is challenging but rewarding. There are no recipes for treatment as each patient is an individual with his/her own experiences and I believe they should be assessed and treated as such. I cannot imagine myself doing any other type of work.
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.
My Treatment Philosophy
In my practice each patient is an individual with specific needs. There are no recipes for treatments.
Each person is assessed holistically, considering their physical and emotional issues, experiences and limitations.
I use education, massage therapy, cognitive relaxation and other techniques to relieve and treat pain, reduce stress and restore well-being.
