Physiotherapists are human body mechanics. Similar to how you would service your car, we understand the way your body is put together and what is necessary for it to perform at its best. Our team of Physiotherapists are highly experienced at dealing with any type of pain, ache, niggle, stiffness, or weakness through a process of clinical reasoning. This process pinpoints the structure that’s causing your pain. So, come in for a service at any of our physiotherapist practices in Pretoria east.

Whether you are suffering from a pulled muscle, overloaded tendon, dislocated joint, sprained ligament or a pinched nerve – you just have to point where the pain is and we’ll investigate. We’ll talk you through our process of stressing and testing these muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints or nerves to get a clear picture of your problem. After testing, we’ll explain to you our findings and give you a diagnosis.

After a physiotherapist makes a diagnosis, we can guide you through a process to restore your body’s tissue to normal. This can take the form of  injury treatment, exercises, modifying your activity, etc. – there are endless options how to treat a problem, but we’ll prioritize what works best. We use the newest technologies (machines), techniques and research studies to give you the best possible treatment for your specific problem. Our physiotherapists are experts at dealing with complex and challenging cases.

Physiotherapist’s Treatment Process

We schedule one hour sessions to give enough time to cover the assessment, diagnosis and treatment.

The physiotherapist will firstly ask you detailed questions about the pain, then we will perform tests and ask you more specifics about the pain and feedback what you feel during certain movements. We will touch, stress and move certain structures to test where the problem might be coming from.

Diagnosis

During the assessment process we explain the results of the tests we are performing and facilitate an understanding of your diagnosis.

Service your body like you service your car

Ek het ongelooflike diens en ondersteuning gekry by die onderneming. Nina, wat my gehelp het, het baie kennis in haar veld, en het reg gekry om ‘n langdurige probleem op te los. Beide die tyd by haar en die oefeninge wat sy my gegee het vir die huis was uitstekend. Sy het my altyd gemaklik laat voel, my vrae geantwoord en by my opgevolg om seker te maak ek raak beter. Die ontvangs en ander personeel was ook altyd baie vriendelik en profesioneel. Ek sal hulle definitief aanbeveel.

Marlene and Karli adapted their schedules to accommodate my husband and I so that our appointments coincided. It eliminated a lot of traveling. Valuable advice was given in order to manage the pain on a daily basis. Exercises were adapted according to our needs. Our progress was monitored and clear explanations of our condition were given throughout the process.

Very professional, friendly and helpful service. I can recommend Marcel with great confidence. At last I have found someone who understands my chronic back condition, listens to his patients, and has great experience in treating me 'holistically.' He is highly knowledgeable, very experienced, uses 'common sense and goes the extra mile in monitoring his patients progress. I can relax knowing im in good hands, and my appointments have become my 'chill pill'. Thank you for making my visits such a comfortable experience.
