Whatever hurts, we've treated it before.

Cape Town is a city that moves — and we keep it moving. From a rolled ankle on Lion's Head to full ACL rehabilitation, we diagnose the real cause of your injury, treat it hands-on, and build the rehab that stops it coming back. Sport-specific input included, whether your finish line is the Argus or the school run.

• Ankles — sprains, instability, Achilles pain
• Knees — ITB, runner's knee, ligament & meniscus tears, ACL rehab
• Hips — impingement, piriformis syndrome, labrum tears, osteoarthritis
• Shoulders — rotator cuff injuries, bursitis, frozen shoulder
• Elbows & wrists — tennis & golfer's elbow, carpal tunnel, fractures

Painkillers mask it. We fix it. Using specialised physical assessment we pinpoint what's actually driving your pain — a disc bulge, a locked facet joint, or simply muscle in spasm — then target it with hands-on treatment, mobilisation (Mulligan, McKenzie and Maitland trained), dry needling and a personalised exercise plan. Desk workers: we'll sort your ergonomics too.

• Disc prolapse, disc bulge & degenerative disc disease
• Sciatica, pinched nerves, pins & needles
• Facet joint & sacroiliac joint pain
• Tension headaches & desk-neck
• Posture, alignment & repetitive strain

Surgery is half the story — the rehab decides the outcome. Julia spent three years at Oxford's Manor Hospital working alongside leading orthopaedic surgeons, treating patients before and after shoulder, hip, knee and back operations. We build your programme phase by phase, re-evaluating as you progress, until you're back to full function.

• ACL reconstruction — structured 4–6 month return
• Knee & shoulder arthroscopy
• Rotator cuff repair
• Hip & knee replacements
• Spinal surgery rehabilitation

This isn't a spa rub. As qualified physiotherapists we know exactly where the deep knots and bands of tension live, and how to release them — improving recovery and reducing post-event muscle soreness. If you're carrying pain or an injury, we factor it in and work with it, then send you home with tips and exercises to keep the benefit.

• Deep tissue massage — the deeper muscles, not just the surface
• Myofascial release for tight bands of fascia
• Trigger point release for stubborn knots
• Pre- and post-event sports massage

Pregnancy and birth change your body — pain along the way is common, but it isn't something you simply have to live with. From pregnancy-related back pain to pelvic floor recovery after birth, we treat it with the same rigour as any sports injury, and the extra care it deserves. We also stock an excellent supportive belt for pregnancy.

• Pregnancy-related back pain, sciatica & sacroiliac pain
• Pubic symphysis dysfunction
• Pelvic floor weakness or tears
• Incontinence
• Carpal tunnel & tingling hands in pregnancy

After surgery, with limited mobility, or simply when getting to the Waterfront is the hardest part — we bring the practice to your door, by prior arrangement. The same thorough assessment and hands-on care, in your own home.

• Rehab after joint replacements, ligament repairs & fractures
• Elderly care, mobility & exercise programmes
• Pain management
• Chest treatments

Treatment fixes the pain; Pilates keeps it away. Julia trained through the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute in London, and every programme here is tailor-made — one-on-one sessions built around your body, your injury history and your goals, not a one-size class.

• One-on-one sessions with a physiotherapist
• APPI-certified method
• Tailor-made programmes for your needs
• Core stability for lasting back pain relief
