Physiotherapy for Pain, Injuries & Rehabilitation in Pretoria East
Neck Pain & Headaches
Neck pain can be caused by many different factors, from muscle and joint stiffness to prolonged sitting, repetitive movements, training, headaches or irritation of the structures around the cervical spine.
You may experience stiffness, pain when turning your head, tension around your shoulders, headaches, pain between your shoulder blades or even symptoms travelling into your arm.
I assess your neck, upper back, shoulders and movement patterns to understand what may be contributing to your symptoms. Treatment may include hands-on techniques, mobility exercises, strengthening and an individualised programme to help you manage your symptoms and prevent them from continually returning.
If your neck pain keeps coming back, don't simply keep stretching it. Let's find out why.

Back Pain & Sciatica
Back pain is incredibly common, but that doesn't mean you have to accept it as part of everyday life.
Lower back pain can be related to muscles, joints, discs, movement patterns or irritation of a nerve. Symptoms can range from a local ache or stiffness to pain travelling into the buttock or leg, sometimes accompanied by tingling, numbness or weakness.
My focus is on understanding how your symptoms behave and what movements, activities and physical factors may be contributing to them.
Your treatment may include education, movement therapy, mobility work and progressive strengthening to help you regain confidence in your back and return to the activities you enjoy.
You don't have to be afraid of moving your back. The right movement can be part of the solution.

Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can make everyday activities surprisingly difficult — reaching overhead, putting on a jacket, sleeping on your side, lifting weights or even reaching behind your back.
Shoulder pain may be related to rotator cuff tendinopathy, shoulder impingement, calcific tendinopathy, joint irritation or an injury.
Rather than simply treating the painful area, I assess how your shoulder moves, how strong it is and what activities are placing load on it.
Treatment may involve targeted strengthening, mobility exercises, education and gradually increasing the amount of load your shoulder can tolerate.
The goal isn't just to make your shoulder hurt less. It's to build a shoulder that can handle your life.

Knee Pain
Knee pain can affect everything from walking and climbing stairs to running, squatting and playing sport.
It can occur after an injury, develop gradually with increased activity or be associated with problems such as patellofemoral pain, patellar tendinopathy, ligament injuries or post-surgical rehabilitation.
Your knee doesn't work in isolation. Your hip, ankle, foot and overall movement patterns can all influence how much load your knee experiences.
I assess the bigger picture and use targeted strengthening and rehabilitation to help your knee become stronger and more capable of handling the activities you need it to.
Don't let knee pain decide which activities you can and can't do.

Hip Pain
Hip pain can develop gradually or appear after an injury, exercise or an increase in activity.
You may experience pain when walking, running, sitting, climbing stairs, exercising or changing direction. Sometimes pain around the hip can also be influenced by the lower back or surrounding muscles and tendons.
A thorough assessment helps determine what movements reproduce your symptoms and what may be contributing to them.
Treatment can include mobility work, targeted strengthening and progressive rehabilitation designed around your everyday activities, training or sport.
The goal is to get your hip moving confidently again — not simply to avoid the movements that hurt.

Ankle & Foot Pain
Your feet and ankles absorb and control a huge amount of load every day, particularly when you're running, jumping or participating in sport.
I treat conditions including ankle sprains, Achilles tendinopathy, tendon-related pain, running-related ankle and foot pain and post-injury rehabilitation.
Rehabilitation may focus on restoring mobility, balance, calf and foot strength and your ability to progressively tolerate load.
Whether you're trying to get back to running, sport or simply walking without pain, your rehabilitation should prepare your ankle for what you actually need it to do.
An ankle that feels better is good. An ankle that is strong enough to handle your activity is better.

Sports Injuries & Rehabilitation
Pain during or after sport shouldn't always be something you push through.
Whether you're a runner, hockey player, paddle player, gym-goer or weekend athlete, sports place specific demands on your muscles, tendons and joints.
I help with muscle strains, tendon injuries, joint injuries, overuse injuries and return-to-sport rehabilitation.
The focus isn't simply on getting rid of your pain. We work on rebuilding the strength and capacity you need for your particular sport, while progressively returning you to the movements and loads that matter to you.
Your rehabilitation should prepare you for your sport — not just everyday life.

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Surgery is often only the beginning of your recovery.
Whether you've had surgery involving your knee, shoulder, ankle, hip or another part of your musculoskeletal system, rehabilitation helps you progressively restore movement, strength and confidence.
Your programme will be guided by the type of surgery you've had and the stage of your recovery.
We'll work together to progress from early movement and strength through to your everyday activities, gym or sport.
The goal is to help you make a confident return to the things that matter to you.

Not Sure What's Causing Your Pain?
You don't need to know what's wrong before you book. That's my job to help you work out.
If pain is affecting your sleep, work, exercise, sport or everyday life — or if it keeps returning despite rest — it's worth having it properly assessed.
