My Story
As a young active athlete, I had first-hand experience in physiotherapy. I unfortunately always felt some things were missing with my treatments, although it regularly helped me return to competitions as a competitor. Did this physiotherapist understand what I needed for my sport? Has the therapist gone through similar motions before? I then realized that there was a lack in requirement when it came to combative and collision sports. Could my injuries have been prevented, if they knew my sports better? This led me to the University of Pretoria, where I completed my degree summa cum laude. I was determined to bring my sporting experience and biomechanical approach to the patients I treat.
I’m always astonished by the human body’s ability to adapt when pain changes the natural movement patterns. I share the knowledge and expertise I gained through years of experience, with high-level sport, at the HPC (High-Performance Center). My approach is neuromuscular and biomechanical, which means that I treat the root of the problem after making a thorough analysis. In other words, I enjoy treating a patient’s chronic long-term pain who have been especially unsuccessful with other therapies. The goal of my treatment is ultimately: “To prevent injury and disability at all costs.”
Act PREVENTATIVE
Be PRO-ACTIVE
Allow PERFORMANCE
Sport Participation and Post Graduate
I’ve participated in many sporting codes, but my passion has always been in combat sports. I have a third-degree black belt in Ring Contact Fighting Art as well as a first-degree black belt in JKA Karate. My pastimes include boxing, kickboxing (welterweight titleholder), Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). My training has included Cross-fit, Pilates and Yoga. This gave me a valuable understanding of the relationship between flexibility and strength. Personally, I am pro-strength training and feel disappointed when patients are told to stop resistance training due to other medical professionals poor understanding of strength training.
I have been a lecturer at the University of Pretoria and have done my postgraduate course to sub-specialize in Sports Medicine (SPT1). In 2016 I completed an LLB (Bachelors of Laws) and can always be found on a new academic endeavor to improve myself even further. I love traveling with sport teams around the country and have previously toured with SASCOC national athletes. My work includes treating sport icons and Olympic athletes, but my passion for providing a high level of physiotherapy service, has brought me into private practice. If you have a challenging biomechanical problem, then there is a good chance that you will end up seeing me. If you are on the verge of giving up on yourself – consult with me and let’s change that.
Renier and I established the practice in 2012 with one main aim: Raising the bar by thorough diagnosis, skillful treatment and addressing the initial cause of the problem.

Jaco as a Sport Physiotherapist
Sport physiotherapists are focused on biomechanical and structural rehabilitation. With targeted goals to maximize your functional movement so that you can return to normal daily activities. And Jaco is excellent at it. Therefore, this type of physiotherapy is most commonly used to address accidental injuries, sports injuries and resolving physical impairment due to lifestyle and ageing.
Our physiotherapist will focus on the body’s main structures of bone, muscle, ligaments and tendons along with the connected systems of the heart, circulation and lungs. Exercise plans and advice are routinely given following the treatment, and the number of treatments will vary depending on the patient’s progress in recovery.

I refer all my national athletes to Jaco, he sorts them out fast. No matter what the problem tight be: hamstring tears, Achilles tendonopathy, stress fractures or scoliosis. His rehab keeps the athletes on the field, pushing performance at all costs.
N Cornelius
I had lower back pain, so bad I couldn’t stand up straight. After the first treatment I could walk upright with a little discomfort and by the 2nd week I could return to my training for comrades. Didn’t know what to expect, but I didn’t expect such a fast recovery. Jaco is a brilliant physio – can’t thank him enough.
