★★★★★ 4.9 from 190 Google reviews
You know the feeling — the back that seized while you tied a shoelace, the knee that ends every run early, the neck that makes 3pm unbearable. Pain shrinks your life a little every day. It doesn't have to.
What we treat
Every appointment starts the same way: a comprehensive assessment, a clear diagnosis, and a treatment plan you actually understand.
01From rolled ankles to ACL rehab — get back on the road, field or trail.
02Headaches, sciatica, desk-neck. We find the cause and end the cycle.
03After hip, knee, shoulder or spinal surgery — recover properly, the first time.
04Deep, precise work that keeps training bodies training.
05Pregnancy and post-birth pain, pelvic floor, incontinence — cared for, never dismissed.
06Laser and ultrasound care for cracked nipples and mastitis — help when you need it most.
07Can't come to us? We bring the practice to you.
08APPI-trained mat and equipment work that rebuilds strength for good.
Our approach
Your back doesn't hurt in isolation. Before any treatment begins, we look at your whole picture — your health history, your desk, your sport, your stress — and build a full assessment of your case.
Then you get a clear diagnosis in plain language, and a plan that combines hands-on treatment with rehabilitation you can actually keep up. Evidence-based, always — the team train continuously to stay at the front of the field.

The person who answers
Nosipho keeps the diary, the practice and your appointments running smoothly — from your first call to your last session.
I have had much in the way of physiotherapy from the best in the States. My experience with Julia and others has me convinced that Julia is one of the best physiotherapists anywhere. She may be THE BEST.
In their words
"For 1 year and 4 months I went to different physiotherapists… After only four treatments with Marené, I was completely pain-free for the first time in 17 months. She changed my quality of life."
"I found myself on the floor of my flat with severe back pain… Within two sessions, they had me up and running. Every aspect of my experience was top class."
"After my visit with Julia, I felt informed — like I finally understood what was going on with my back and why. She is dedicated to getting to the root of the problem."
"I was suffering from severe back pain and couldn't get through the day without painkillers. After just one session, the pain was significantly relieved and I no longer needed any medication."
"They managed to find time for me at really short notice, properly listened to what was going on and could diagnose me quickly. Would highly recommend!"
"I am a first-time mom and breastfeeding has been a struggle for me. Julia has shown a big interest in healing me. I highly recommend Cape Town Physiotherapy."
