Cilliers & Swart Physiotherapist (power by Well Health Pro) is a practice with a group of medical professionals and experts who use a wide range of treatments to diagnose, test and treat the cause of your pain. The human body is complex and adaptive, but we have the skills to influence tissue healing. Cellular activity and physiological processes can be nudged in the right direction to help your body’s tissues heal faster. Your body has the wonderful ability to adapt to almost anything you throw at it.
Doing the right things at the right time, while avoiding the things that make it worse are the basics, till we start altering physiological and chemical reactions in your tissue. Healing is a process of understanding, accurate diagnosis and then we can change it.
Why you need our help?
The top reason why healing takes longer than expected is not knowing what’s the real problem. This is the core reason why people neglect their pain and just try to ignore it. Unfortunately this creates more problems as surrounding tissues in an injured site spills over to involve other structures. For example, a minor muscle tear starts affecting a nearby nerve or joint, and you’ll feel that its actually getting worse (sharper pain, larger area, even more stiff).
This leaves the tissue to fend for itself, leading to abuse and overload on structures that’s not supposed to be taking so much strain. In the end you’ll end up with chronic compensation patterns or even chronic pain. A physiotherapist’s role is to assess and diagnose all the factors relating to your problem. Clearly defining the scope & severity of your problem. We’ll develop a treatment and management plan after we have given you a diagnosis.
At Cilliers & Swart Physiotherapy, we help you understand what is going on in your body and how we can help relieve your pain. While physiotherapy can be effective, we realize there are some cases it’s past the point of no return. In these cases where our physiotherapy treatment isn’t the appropriate for your problem, we will refer you to some of South Africa’s leading Medical Specialists and Allied Health Professionals.

What to expect when consulting a physiotherapist?
At Cilliers & Swart Physiotherapy we schedule one hour sessions to give enough time to cover the assessment, diagnosis and treatment.
Assessment & Diagnosis
The physiotherapist will firstly ask you detailed questions about the pain, then he will perform tests and ask you more detail about the location of the pain and feedback of what you feel during certain movements.
We will touch, stress and move certain structures to test where the problem might be coming from. During this process she/he will explain his results of the test and diagnose the problem. They will then continue to treat the tissue according to what’s necessary for repair.
Treatment
Physiotherapist use their hands, machines, movements, and many other types of treatment to repair soft tissue. The physiotherapist will give you instructions to follow and warn you of dangers that might have caused the problem. It is very important that you understand what is going on in your own body. Ask as much questions as possible.
