I remember how I slowly started to learn more about anatomy and our body’s physiology. I remember the child-like wonder that enveloped me whenever I delved deeper into what humanity already knows about the different parts of a human body. Consequently, the more I knew, the deeper my love for the subject grew.

I inevitably found myself enrolling for a Bsc Physiotherapy degree at the University of the Free State. Studying physiotherapy, with all of its different aspects, ultimately opened my eyes to everything a physiotherapist’s treatment would be able to do. As I completed my degree in 2012 I came to the conclusion that there would always be more to discover about our bodies, and that what I had learned about physiotherapy, thus far, is only the very tip of the iceberg.

After I started my career as a physiotherapist, all the different fields in physiotherapy made me aware of what I am drawn too the most. In essence, pain should not interfere with your daily lives and future plans. This thought eventually caused me to go back to studying after working as a physiotherapist for 3 years. To help my patients heal through physiotherapy is my first and only goal. The more I know about the human body, the better I’ll be at diagnosing and treating my patients across the board. Further, I completed a post-graduate course in Orthopedic Manipulative Therapy (OMT 2016) and received a Certificate in Pain Management (2019).

Building a therapeutic relationship between myself and all of my patients, are incredibly important. I can see the person you are meant to be, and I will help you go beyond your pain, towards your goal. Many people feel uncomfortable and vulnerable prior to their first physiotherapy session, I am here to help you heal. There is nothing to fear when it comes to a physiotherapist’s treatment. Communication is key, as it is in any relationship. I enjoy listening to my patients stories, since it makes me understand them better. Please feel free to talk as much as you want and to ask any questions, whenever you are unsure about what is happening in our sessions.

When building the therapeutic relationship, it is important to understand the fact that it takes effort from both sides. I therefore provide advice, information and treatment to improve your daily performance, whereas you will have to do something from your side as well. Whether it is exercise or changing your posture at work, together we will take the necessary steps towards a better, pain free, future.
