We treat the mechanism, not just the site of pain.
Every course of treatment starts with a full biomechanical assessment: how the joint loads, where the movement is being compensated for, and what has to change before the pain settles for good.
You leave the first session knowing what is happening, what we are going to do about it, and how long it should take.
Specialist treatment, matched to the problem.
Every course of treatment is built around a clear clinical diagnosis. Explore our full spectrum of care.
View all services directoryGeneral Musculoskeletal Assessment & Treatment
Comprehensive evaluation and targeted management of conditions affecting muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons and surrounding spinal structures.
Sports Injury Assessment & Rehabilitation
Acute triage, clinical assessment and phase-specific rehabilitation for athletic injuries with objective return-to-sport testing.
Respiratory Therapy
Management of acute or chronic respiratory conditions through clearance of lung secretions and breathing re-education.
Dry Needling
Insertion of fine filiform needles directly into active muscular trigger points to elicit a local twitch response and deactivate nodules.
Treatment of Nasal Sinuses
Targeted techniques to promote sinus drainage, reduce pressure and alleviate inflammation.
Neurological Rehabilitation
Specific training to target physical impairments and movement disorders resulting from stroke, Parkinson’s, and neurological disorders.
Explore all 20+ clinical therapies
Including neural mobilization, sinus treatments, deep oscillation, and electrotherapies.
Assessment, treatment, return to load.
Three stages, and you always know which one you are in. Most conditions resolve inside a defined course of treatment rather than an open-ended series of appointments.
Assessment
Movement testing, joint-by-joint, plus the history that explains it. You get a named diagnosis and a realistic timeline.
Hands-on treatment
Manual therapy to restore the movement that is missing, paired with loading you do between sessions. Pain settles as capacity returns.
Return to load
Criteria-based discharge: strength, range and tolerance measured against the demand you are going back to — work, sport or both.
Practice locations & hours.
Appointments are made by phone. Bring any imaging, referral letters or surgical notes to your first visit.

Before your first appointment.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No, physiotherapists are first-line practitioners. You can book directly with the practice. If a surgeon or GP has referred you, bring the letter and any imaging with you.
What should I expect during my initial assessment?
A thorough subjective history, postural and functional movement analysis, neurological testing if applicable, followed by hands-on treatment and a clear, personalised home exercise plan.
What should I wear?
Comfortable, loose-fitting sports clothing that gives access to the area being assessed — shorts for a knee or hip, a vest top for a neck or shoulder.
Do you claim from medical aid?
Yes — we submit claims directly to your medical aid where your scheme allows it. Bring your membership details to your first appointment.
How many sessions will I need?
You are given an estimate at the first assessment and it is reviewed as you progress. Treatment is criteria-based, not open-ended.
Can I be seen after surgery?
Yes. Post-operative rehabilitation is run to your surgeon's protocol, with progress reported back to them.
Understand what is happening.
Why your MRI doesn’t always match your pain
Imaging finds structural change in almost every spine, sore or not. What actually predicts whether a finding is the source of your pain — and what we test for instead.

A healed muscle is not the same as a loaded one. The criteria we use before clearing a return to running, and why the timeline is a range, not a date.

The mechanism behind the technique, what a needling response should feel like, and why it is used alongside loading rather than instead of it.
