My Story

My story with Physiotherapy began when I was playing soccer. As an avid sportsman, it’s fair to say I’ve had my share of injuries. I was in and out of the Physiotherapist’s room on the regular. It was here that I saw the impact a Physiotherapist can have – especially with athletes.

I began my studies at the University of Pretoria in 2015 with the aim of focusing on Sports and Orthopedics. In my spare time, I read the latest research in Sports Medicine to bolster my knowledge of various injuries. Based on the extensive body of knowledge available, I am confident in the power of rehabilitation to not only relieve your pain but prevent it from happening again.

I struggled with nerve pain after undergoing surgery for a broken arm suffered playing soccer. He put me on a simple program of exercises that I could do on my own at home and this together with the in-consultation treatments administered by Daniel, within a couple of weeks I could no longer feel the nerve pain anymore.
