Cilliers & Swart Physiotherapy is part of a healthcare profession that assesses, diagnoses, treats, and works to prevent disease and disability through physical means. Physiotherapists use only evidence based manual therapy and various other treatment techniques. They are experts in physiology and pathology. We work in partnership with our patients, assisting them to overcome movement disorders, relieve pain or restore tissue to its normal state.
At Cilliers & Swart Physio we aim to empower you, enabling you to reach your goals, eliminate or minimise pain & dysfunction and make wise health and lifestyle changes. Our Physiotherapists spend a lot of energy investigating the cause of your dysfunction, to change these factors in order to avoid re-occurrence of an injury/problem.
Typical first session: A thorough history will be taken as part of the subjective interview. The aim of the interview is to get a clear picture of your problem, to ascertain your expectations and goals are. This is also done to streamline your physical assessment. A thorough physical assessment is then performed to enable us to rule out certain conditions, get closer to the diagnosis whilst looking for the underlying causes.
We then form a hypothesis of what may have gone wrong. Your physiotherapist will explain to you what her understanding of the problem is, and how she proposes to treat it. Treatment will then commence.
Follow-up sessions: At follow-up sessions, a short re-assessments may be performed, where after the appropriate treatment and rehabilitative exercises will commence.
The number of follow-up sessions, as well as how far apart these appointments are booked, depends on the type of condition that is being treated. Success of treatments depends on how compliant the patient is in performing their home exercises, avoiding certain aggravating activities and correct medication use.
Appointment duration: Cilliers & Swart Physio sessions are 60 minutes.
Fees: The practice charges fees at the medical aid rates. Card facilities are available for private patients who are not on medical aid.
