We focus on a thorough patient-specific assessment, in order to gain an in-depth perspective into the source of the patient’s pain and all of its contributing factors.
Treatment may include hands-on soft tissue release, joint mobilisation, specific exercise prescription, education, and biomechanical corrections. In addition we offer strapping, dry needling and electrotherapy as adjuncts to treatment when indicated.
Together with the patient we then formulate a strategy to help them recover to their full potential, and empower them to manage their own pain. We strive to provide treatment that is evidence-based and holistic.
Our treatments are 45 minutes to an hour long depending on the complexity of the condition.
We are a cash practise, but patients should be able to recover most of the fee back from their medical aid depending on their individual medical aid cover. A direct claim to the medical aid can be organised upon special request.
We are open from 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday. Weekend appointments are by special arrangement only.
