Our Physiotherapists

Professional Background & Philosophy

I qualified with a BSc. Physiotherapy from UCT in 2011. After completing my community service year in Port Elizabeth, I joined a private practice in Claremont, working at Life Kingsbury Hospital. I later completed my Masters in Physiotherapy at Stellenbosch University in 2016.

I have a keen passion for rehabilitation and pain management, with a particular interest in:

• Respiratory rehabilitation (for lung conditions)

• Acute and chronic pain

• Chronic fatigue and Long-Covid syndromes

• Post-lower limb injury/surgery rehabilitation

My Approach

In this practice, I have created an environment in which people can come and recover, find the joy in movement again, and take charge of their own rehabilitation to ensure a real improvement in quality of life.

• Empowerment: I am a firm believer in the power of the human body and movement; I have a passion and desire to help others find this in themselves.

• Evidence-Based Practice: I am a keen academic and enjoy learning and challenging myself. For me, practicing evidence-based physiotherapy is very important.

• Quality Care: I strive to provide the best possible care for all my clients with the goal of restoring movement, empowering each client, and improving their quality of life.

I qualified with a BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy from the University of Cape Town in 2013, after which I completed my community service year in Johannesburg. I began my physiotherapy career at Life Rehabilitation Unit at Vincent Pallotti Hospital, where I worked for five years, developing a strong foundation in neurological rehabilitation.I subsequently joined Walking with Brandon before becoming a co-founder and director of the Enable Centre in Kenilworth.

I have also gained experience as a locum physiotherapist in Terry Douglas’ neurological ICU practice at Vincent Pallotti Hospital, as well as in hydrotherapy at Aviva Thurgood Physiotherapy.
I completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Interdisciplinary Pain Management at UCT in 2022 and am currently completing an MSc in Sports and Exercise Physiotherapy at UCT.

My Areas of Interest:

• Vestibular rehabilitation
• Neurological rehabilitation
• ⁠Hydrotherapy⁠
• Rehabilitation following injury and surgery
• Sports and exercise rehabilitation
• Pain management

My Approach

I believe physiotherapy should be about more than simply treating an injury or managing symptoms. My approach is patient-centred, with a focus on education and return to the activities that are meaningful to them. I believe in patient empowerment and aim to give each person the confidence and tools to manage their recovery.

• Evidence-Based Practice:
  I have a strong interest in continued learning and academic development. My postgraduate studies have strengthened my commitment to combining current evidence with clinical experience and each individual’s goals.
• Quality Care: I strive to provide personalised, compassionate care that considers the whole person rather than simply the presenting problem. My aim is to restore movement and function, build confidence, and ultimately improve quality of life.
