My Story
As a child, I unknowingly began my Physiotherapy journey when I started “treating” my grandfather’s knees. In reality, and at this stage, I couldn’t even say the word physiotherapy. Be that as it may, I still knew that I would like to help others get rid of their body ailments.
Inevitably and without delay I enrolled in, and completed, my B. Sc Physiotherapy degree at the University of the Free State in 2009. After that, and with the aim to treat my patients to the very best of my abilities, I further completed post-graduate courses in Orthopaedic Manipulative Therapy (OMT 2012) and Sports Physiotherapy (SPT 2014).
Since I joined the workforce, I realized how much I truly enjoy some of the more unique and puzzling cases that are considered different from the norm. Finding the cause of a perplexing problem and adapting treatment and rehabilitation accordingly, brings me an incredible amount of joy. Naturally, there is no such thing as a normal physio case, therefore each problem has a different history and a huge variety of contributing factors.
I believe that knowledge is power, moreover, if a patient truly understands the root cause of their pain, then we, as physiotherapists, can further teach them how to manage the problem. At times, pain can take away your sense of independence and make you feel powerless. Thus this motivates a therapist’s main goal: to restore the belief that pain does not control you.
