My Story
Practice Manager – Zanel janse van Rensburg
I started my journey with Well Health Pro in 2020.
My experience is mostly in the field of healthcare. I am fascinated with the human mind, the body, and its capacity. While completing my Honours degree in Psychology, I worked as an Intern Counsellor at Tshwane Rehabilitation Hospital where most of the patients had suffered spinal or neurological injuries. I also have experience within the Medico-legal field.
One of passions involves how trauma affects the body, and have additional training in psychopharmacology and trauma informed practice. The practice’s culture of life-long learning, compassion and humility specifically resonates with who I am. My background, experience and interests, puts me in a unique position to build relationships, understand, and respond to the needs of our patients and team members.
Partner of the Well Health Pro team
From my position as manager in the practice, I don’t necessarily have details about patients’ specific conditions or treatment programs, but everything else goes through me. Hard work, progress, and a sense of pride and confidence at the end of every patient’s treatment.
I’ve always believed in the value of relationships and connecting with people. How things work at , demonstrates daily that relationships are as important as excellent clinical practice. Our highly-skilled, dynamic team of medical professionals offer a broad range of expertise to our patients. We intend for every person that comes into the practice, to flourish.
This person-centered approach creates an atmosphere of hope and possibility. We strive to achieve the best possible outcome with our patients based on their specific concerns.
I am proud to be part of a practice that cares about people and look forward to welcoming you to the Well Health Pro family!

Excellent physiotherapist Marlene Koen. Very professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. The treatment was effective, and everything was clearly explained. I noticed improvement quickly. Highly recommended. Helene Margo06/02/2026 I was treated by Marlene Koen for rotator cuff pain due to a shoulder dislocation more a decade ago. I had physio before but with very meager results, this time I made sure I visited a shoulder specialist. Marlene read the report from the radiologist, asked further diagnostic questions and explained to me what the primary source of the pain was as well as the secondary causes. She made a careful assessment of the extent of my pain and shoulder weaknesses and monitored my progress with every visit. She prescribed exercises, made sure that I do them right, monitored whether and how often I did the exercises and gradually increased the intensity as well as scope. She also explained to me how to use anti-inflammatory drugs so that it would not impede the effect of the exercises. What made the biggest difference was her thorough explanations, that she monitored progress and that she held me accountable for keeping my side of the bargain - doing the exercises. I would recommend Marlene without reservations. She is thorough, highly knowledgeable, and kind but clear about what would help me in the long run. Lourens Bosman30/01/2026 Such a great experience with Marlene Koen. Knowledgeable, supportive, and truly invested in recovery. I’m feeling stronger and moving better—couldn’t be happier! Amanda Jonker27/01/2026 I had an excellent experience with Marlene Koen. Professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. She took the time to understand my problem and tailored my treatment perfectly. I’ve seen real improvement and would highly recommend her. Caren Cilliers26/01/2026 I thoroughly enjoyed my sessions with my physiotherapist, Marlene at this facility. She has a very thorough, knowledgeable approach to the causes and consequences of muscle related injuries, especially those for runners. Her interactive and engaging style and consultative approach made it easier for me to relate with her in my treatment. Based on her interesting approach and expertise, I managed to overcome nagging, persisting knee and back pains, which have improved considerably since I consulted her. I recommend her for sports-related (especially running) muscle and other injuries. Afro-Nomad26/01/2026 I have consistently had an excellent experience with Cilliers & Swart Physiotherapy Practice. The team is highly knowledgeable and professional, and has assisted me effectively on multiple occasions. I would especially like to acknowledge Um’r Ismail, my current physiotherapist. He takes the time to thoroughly explain the diagnosis, underlying causes, and the structured pathway to recovery. This level of clarity and patient engagement sets him apart from other practices I have attended. I highly recommend Cilliers & Swart Physiotherapy Practice for their professionalism, expertise, and patient-centred approach. Ehren Sky23/01/2026 Um'r is a fantastic physio. He helped me get back to my normal activities really quickly. My knee is doing great! He knows his stuff and has a great sense of humor. I've already recommended 2 of my friends to his capable hands. Thanks, Um'r - 5 stars all the way.
