Neurological physiotherapy focuses on conditions affecting the functioning of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. Some of the conditions that we treat include stroke, traumatic brain injuries, Multiple Sclerosis, Motor Neuron Disease, Guillian Barre Syndrome, Parkinson’s Disease, Age-related conditions and poor balance, spinal cord injuries, and facial palsies.
We work closely with family, caregivers, and other members of the healthcare team to enable function, rebuild self-esteem, enhance self-efficacy, and improve quality of life. Rehabilitation is offered at the client’s home or at the practice rooms, depending on the specific problems experienced.

Our practice aims to promote healing and restore function as soon as possible. We are able to assess and treat disorders of the neuro-musculoskeletal system including:

Rehabilitation of older adults involves an active process, delivered through a coordinated multidisciplinary team approach, that aims to improve function and enable people to live their lives to the fullest potential. Frail, older adults are particularly vulnerable to functional decline as a result of illness, and rehabilitation is an essential part of medical care for this population. Fear of falling, falls, and fall-related injuries occur frequently in older adults. We offer fall risk screening, advise on fall prevention strategies. and design and implement balance-specific rehabilitation programmes aimed at improving balance, functional strength and walking confidence. We offer both practice or home-based treatments and visit a number of retirement villages and Health Care centres if it is difficult to come into the practice.

Pilates for Rehabilitation of Musculoskeletal Dysfunction, is best when individualised and combined with a good Physiotherapy assessment and a patient centred approach. Musculoskeletal dysfunction and pain can create a negative cycle. Factors such as fear of movement, altered movement patterns and stress amongst others, can maintain this vicious cycle and lead to physical deconditioning and further dysfunction. Pilates is a mindful exercise which also uses the breathing pattern to promote musculoskeletal balance and improve dysfunction.
We offer induvidual or small group Pilates sessions, with no more than 3 participants per group.

We work with you to produce a treatment plan that will support your breathing, lung function and physical activity. Your treatment plan may include: airway clearance techniques to help remove phlegm from the lungs and breathing pattern therapy to help manage breathlessness.

We are confident to treat injuries to tendons, muscles or ligamants due to trauma or overuse. Whether the injury is new or old, physiotherapy optimises healing of injuries, facilitates speedy return to sport and assists prevents recurrence of problems.

We offer home visits in the southern suburbs area of Cape Town. Home visits are often preferred by patients and their families if the client is housebound or immobilised after an operation or injury.
