About

An athlete's
understanding of
coming back strong.

I graduated cum laude in BSc Physiotherapy from the University of the Witwatersrand, after earning a place on the Dean's Merit List in every year of study. I'm currently completing my community service year at Cecilia Makiwane Regional Hospital in East London.

Competitive swimming shaped how I practise. I know what it feels like to train through something, to lose a season, and to want a straight answer about when you'll be back. That's what I try to give every person on my table: a clear diagnosis, a plan you understand, and honest timelines.

From January 2027 I'll be consulting from Physios in Touch in Rivonia — practising independently, with the support of an established multidisciplinary team around me.

Approach

How a course of treatment works

  1. 01

    Assessment

    A thorough subjective and physical assessment, looking past where it hurts to what might be driving it.

  2. 02

    Explanation

    You leave the first session knowing what we think is going on, and roughly how long it'll take to settle.

  3. 03

    Treatment

    Hands-on manual therapy, dry needling and exercise, adjusted session to session as you respond.

  4. 04

    Return

    A graded programme back to sport, work or daily life — with the strength to keep it from happening again.
